Hi,
I would like to understand the distinctions between the roles of a Teaching Assistant (TA) and a Teacher.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi there @eSchool! You can learn a bit about the role through the guide on user roles and permissions, but the permissions of each role (like TA and Teacher) can be changed by your institution. Your institution may choose to let TAs have more or less access to things like student grades or analytics. You will want to connect with your Canvas admin to learn about what the specific permissions are for your Canvas instance.
