GauchoSpace automatically adds Teaching Assistant(s) to your course site once they are officially listed in STAR/GOLD by your department. If your TA has not been listed yet but they need access to your course site, you can manually add them to your course site. This Help Center article explains how to manually add a TA to your course site and how to change a Non-editing TA into an Editing TA.
Note: You can check to see if your TA(s) have already been added to your course site or check the role assigned to your TAs by clicking on Users>Enrolled Users in the Administration block.
