These settings are best for smaller courses that have fewer seminars. If it is a large class, it is recommended that these individuals might best be added in an “Instructor” role. It is a long process to select all of the sections/seminars to add a TA to if there are a large number of seminars (there is no ‘select all’ button). |

Step 4
Locate and select user account on the results list. Use the drop down arrows in the Role and Section columns to assign the user’s tool permissions and roster associations within the site (if applicable).
...
Role Options: Instructor, SAS Accommodations, Student, Teaching Assistant. Each role has different tool permissions and access.
Section Options: Sections are the rosters that are currently associated with your site. If the site has rosters enabled site members must be associated with one.
(Note: if you are adding, Teaching Assistants, Marker Graders, Lab demonstrators, or Course coordinators to a site and they require access to more than 1 roster in the site assign them to the major course component roster, i.e. LEC, BLD, ASYC, SYNC. If they require access to one seminar, lab, or tutorial section section only assign them to that specific roster section to restrict access).
**If you are adding your TA to all of your sections you can also use the Instructor Quick Add or repeat step 4 as necessary. [edit for clarity and accuracy].
