What are the different roles available for Blackboard users?
There are several roles available in Blackboard, each offering different levels of access to a course. Blackboard roles are course specific; a user's role will vary from course to course.
Blackboard roles include:

Teaching Assistant - A teaching assistant has access to everything in the Control Panel with the exception of the ability to remove or change the role of an instructor in the course.
Grader - A grader has access to the Assessment portion of the Control Panel.
Course Builder - A Course Builder has access to most portions of the Control Panel, excluding the Assessment area.
Guest - A guest is able to view student areas of a course, but is not able to participate in any way.
Student - Students are able to access course content communication areas and student tools and are graded on assessments.
