Account Permission Comparison: Instructor, TA, and Student
Each type of account within the exercise environment of the Cyber Range varies in regards to what they can see and what they can control. For example, only instructors are able to create courses and reset exercises, but TAs can also reset (Wipe & Reprovision) exercises, while students cannot. Below lists the specific permissions for each account type.
*These permissions are subject to change.
