Anyone with instructor level access to a course has the ability to add other users (TAs, designers, co-instructors) to their WebCampus courses.
The different course permissions associated with a course role are defined in the table below:

Troubleshooting Tips
- We were unable to find matches error message: Either the ACE ID or the email address you entered is not associated with the user you are attempting to add or the user does not exist in WebCampus. Try to add the user using a different criteria (see step 3 above) or contact the IT Help Desk to verify that a user exists in WebCampus.
