How do I edit Gradebook permissions?

By default, only instructors and site owners can enter feedback in Gradebook. Use the Permissions area to provide Teaching Assistants with grading permissions for specific groups, course sections, or all students in the site.

A user in the Teaching Assistant role must be present in the site before you can take these steps.
