In Quest you have the ability to authorize other instructors to access your course. From the left menu bar on your course page, select 'Authorize Instructor'. This is also where you may add importers, learning assistants, and TAs.
Depending on what permissions you want to grant the instructor there are several different options:
- Primary instructors, additional primary instructors and secondary instructors share all of the same privileges. Authorizing another instructor to one of these levels will allow them to do things like create and publish assignments, change dates and grades and more. It also allows access to the course for them to access even after student access has ended.
- Teaching assistants have the same access as instructors, but lose access to the course when the students do.
- An importer is unable to make any changes to your course but has the ability to copy those assignments into their own classes.
- A limited TA is able to view student assignments, and view/edit grades but is unable to manage assignments in your class.

Also feel free to add a person to multiple roles. For undergraduate TAs, we recommend adding them as a guest to your class, and a limited TA, so that way they will have access to their own homework problems (as a student) and their own solutions before released to the class (as a limited TA).
