- Grader: A grader can view and download assignments and tests, as well as post and modify grades via the Grade Center. Graders cannot add, edit or manage course content or tools.
- Guest: Visiting instructors, special guests, peers and colleagues (with UTORids) can be enrolled as guests. For information on adding individuals without UTORids, please see the UTORauth Information Pageand the Long-Term UTORid page.
