Adding co-instructors or other course staff

How add additional instructors or course managers to your course account

Written by Chelsea Wilson

Summary

  • If you are co-teaching your course or have a course manager, you can give them varying levels of access to your course.

  • Additional course and school admin can help you design your landing page, send emails, manage student admissions, and interact in the community.

  • Any added course admin or staff should also create their own Maven accounts at maven.com/signup.

When to add course staff

You might be working with a team (co-instructor, course manager, session facilitator, etc.) so we've made it easy to add staff to your Maven account.

The are 3 levels of permissions you can provide.

Course-level permissions (access to one course only)

Course Facilitator - Course facilitators can only update cohort settings as well as manage students. They cannot send emails.

Course Admin - Course admins can update course and cohort settings as well as manage students and send emails.

School-level permissions (access to all courses in your school + all permissions)

School Admin - School admins have access to all functionality at every level of the platform.

How to add course staff

Only a school admin can edit these permissions.


How to add a School Admin

  1. Go to your Dashboard → Settings

  2. Scroll down to the “School admins” section

  3. Click “+ School admin”

  4. Enter the email address of the person you'd like to add

The added admin will not receive an automatic email invitation. They can create their Maven account at maven.com/signup using the same email address you added.

Once logged in, they’ll automatically gain access to your school with the assigned permissions.

How to add Course or Workshop Staff

  1. Open your Course or Workshop

  2. Go to Settings

  3. Scroll down to the “Course staff” or “Workshop staff” section

  4. Click “+ New course staff”

  5. Enter the email address of the person you'd like to add

  6. Select their role:

    • Course Admin

    • Course Facilitator

Just like School Admins, added staff members will not receive an automatic invitation email. They can create their Maven account at maven.com/signup using the same email address you added.

Once they log in, they’ll automatically have access to the course or workshop based on the permissions assigned to them.
