Please refer to Add a User to Your Site for instructions on adding a user to all sections of your site at once (e.g., lecture and seminar). Below are instructions on how to add a user to specific sections of your site (e.g., just the lecture and one seminar).

We imagine these instructions would be particularly useful for adding a Teaching Assistant to specific seminars or labs.

Add a User to Only One Seminar Section

Navigate to the Classlist tool

Go to the Classlist tool. You can access this through the course navigation bar or through Course Admin.

Select Add Participants > Add Existing Users

On the Classlist page, select the blue Add Participants button and then select from the drop-down menu, Add existing users

Search for the user you want to add to the site

On the Add Existing Users page, in the search bar type the Name, Email, Org Defined ID, or Username of the person you wish to add to your course.

Then hit Enter or select the magnifying glass to conduct the search.

(Note: There may be multiple Brock Brightspace users with the same name. Modify the search option filters to narrow the result list. We recommend filtering your search by email or Org Defined ID (Brock IDs) for the best results)!

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].

Step 5

Select the blue Enroll Selected Users button at bottom of the page

Step 6

On the Confirmation of Enrollment page review the user account, role and section.

 Click blue Done button to finish or select the grey Add more Participants button to start another search.

Step 7

More detail on adding TAs, such as adding TAs to specific sections article can be found here: Add a TA to Lecture and seminar sections.

  1. When adding the TA as a participant, add them only to the section they are responsible for in the “Sections” field.

The only way to have the filter/search option for sections/seminars is to add TAs to more than one section: e.g the lecture and at least one seminar.

\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions for Adding a TA so they only have access to multiple seminar sections

Follow the Add a Participant steps found through the link above.

  1. Once the TA has been added to the site go to Course Tools and select the Course Admin option.

  2. In Course Admin, under the Learner Management heading, select “Sections”.

  3. Once in sections, from the vertical list select the appropriate seminars and/or lecture sections.

  4. .  Select the ‘Enrol Users’ search for the ‘User’ and check the boxes under the sections in the horizontal list. 

  5. Click Save over to the far left (scrolling maybe required).

The more sections in the class the more tedious the process. Note that once multiple sections are selected: the View By: ‘Users’ or ‘Sections’ becomes visible.
