# Syncing and reading your roster

Everyone enrolled, their role, their section, and when they were last active.

When you launch your course for the first time, TimelyGrader will automatically sync all of your students, TAs, and other instructors. This will only occur once at the start of the course given that it may take more than a few seconds if you have a large course.&#x20;

If there are add/drop students or changes in the teaching team, you can click on Sync Roster to pull in the new changes.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Filter and search

You can Sort directly on the table by clicking on the column headers or select filers and sorting manually.&#x20;

We've also added the ability to manually assign TA roles. TAs will be restricted in terms of what they can do and cannot do.&#x20;

TAs can:

1. Review assignment description, settings, and rubrics.&#x20;
2. Review student submissions within their assigned sections.&#x20;

TAs cannot:

1. Import assignments, delete, or push back grades.
2. Edit assignment settings (rubric, feature settings, etc).&#x20;
3. See student submissions outside of their assigned sections.&#x20;
