Add course assistants and auditors

Objective

Learn the basics of assigning roles to class participants

Notes

Do not use this process to add or drop regularly enrolled students. Adjusting the roster manually is appropriate only for assistants and auditors.

Regarding assistants: Please note that Graders and Course Builders have different abilities. Graders can grade student work for you, while Course Builders can add materials to the course. If you want someone to have both of these abilities, you must assign both roles to them.
