Adding Teaching Assistants and Other Faculty

In some cases, you may need to give special access to your course site to a Teaching Assistant, a staff member or Librarian who builds content for you, or another faculty member that may be co-teaching a course. For an organization site, you may need to give special access to someone who may be managing the organization site with you.

Users in Blackboard can have specific roles which are listed at the bottom of this page.

To add a Teaching Assistant or another user in a special role, you must first add them to the course if they are not currently part of the roster (see Adding Students and Other Users). After the individual is enrolled in the course or organization site, follow these steps to change their role:

1. Login to Blackboard and enter your course or organization site.
2. Open the Control Panel.
3. On the right side of the screen, under User Management, click List/Modify Users.
4. Click List All to see a roster of all the students and other users of your course.
5. To change the role of a person listed in the course, click the Properties button next to their name.
6. On the screen that appears, choose the role you wish that individual to have under Role and Availability and click Submit.
