Description

There was some discussion in Mobile about a desire by math instructors to have an intermediate role between student and instructor that could be used for teaching assistants or graders. Using this to launch some discussion to see what permissions such a role might have.

For comparison, WebAssign doesn't seem to have roles as much as it has permission categories: Section, Roster, Assignments, Grades, and Communication. Within each category, there are View, Modify, and Grant permissions. We sometimes add tutors to our courses and just give them the View permission in the Assignments category and nothing else.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Mobile discussion referenced in the issue and compare the proposed role with WebAssign's Section, Roster, Assignments, Grades, and Communication permission categories. No repository files or tests are named. Done would require an agreed set of TA/grader permissions, but the issue does not yet define that scope.
