People & Roles

Body

Select the People & Roles tab within the course settings menu and choose the User Role you would like to assign. Or create a new role using any of the existing pre-set profiles available:

  • Grading Teaching Assistant
  • Professor
  • Teaching Assistant

Inviting a user will send them an email either inviting them to create a Top Hat account to be added to the course (if no user exists in the system), or will provide an email confirmation letting them know they were added to the course (existing users).
