You can change permissions of default roles and [newly created roles](https://help.codegrade.com/faq/configuring-roles-of-members). Almost all features and actions in CodeGrade have a corresponding permission, with which you can enable or disable them for certain members in your course.

1. Navigate to the **Course Management** page of your course and go to the *Permissions* tab.
2. Search for the permission you want to enable or disable.
3. Enable this permission for the role you want by checking the box in column of that role.&#x20;
4. Changes take effect immediately. &#x20;

Users may need to reload their page for permissions to take effect.

#### Common practices:

Permissions allow for endless possibilities. Some common practices are:

* Allowing students to hand in after the deadline.

{% endcontent-ref %}

* Allowing students to see inline comments or answers to their questions before the [assignment's grades are published](https://help.codegrade.com/faq/releasing-grades-and-feedback). Give your students the **See feedback before grades published** permission.
* Let Teaching Assistants help you set up parts of the assignment. For instance helping you with configuring AutoTest (give TAs the **Edit the configuration of an AutoTest** permission) or with your rubric (give TAs the **Manage rubrics** permission).

Some permissions allow users to do irreversible actions (delete submissions) or change their own permissions. Change permissions highlighted in red with caution.
