Overview of Smartwork Permissions

Note: Adding a Teaching Assistant or Scoring Teaching Assistant to your Student Set will not grant that account access to the associated product; the TA or STA will still need to register or purchase access to be able to use the digital resources.

The following table contains a complete list of the permissions Teaching Assistants, Scoring Teaching Assistants, and Instructors have in Smartwork.
