Adding course staff

[dfkotz]

I made a small csv file listing all my course staff - head TA and other TAs - and uploaded it to the classroom via the "Add Roster" button. But it appears to have given them all role "Student". How do I change their role to TA? I did not see any column in the "Add Roster" csv template that would allow me to specify the role in the upload.

Also, I have multiple classrooms. Some people are in multiple classrooms - Student in one, TA in another. I hope that is supported!

1. You can change their roles under the Roster view.
2. Different classrooms have their own sets of GitHub teams, which our app uses to manage role-based access. However, if you make a user a TA or Head TA in any one classroom, they can access your private "classroom50" config repository directly, and there is nothing we can do to prevent that with the current design.

Thanks. I see where to change the role; the reason I did not see it earlier is because it appears I cannot change someone’s role until after they accept the invitation. It would be nice to have a column for Role in the csv, so I could preset roles as part of the upload/invitation process. dave From: Rongxin Liu ***@***.***> Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at 06:08 To: foundation50/classroom50 ***@***.***> Cc: David F.
