The TA needs to be added under the course on the STAR C screen with the appropriate Instructor Function Code and DSIR-ID.
Open eGrades and click on the 'TA Administration' tab.
Select the department of the course from the 'Dept' drop-down menu on the top of the screen.
Locate the course under the 'Approved Master Course List' column (left side) and click on it. To select multiple courses, hold the 'Ctrl' key and click on each one so that all courses are highlighted.
Click the 'Add >>>' button between the two columns so that the course is also added to the 'Courses 'Editable' by TAs' column (right side).

This action only needs to be performed once; the course will retain the selected access indefinitely until manually changed.
Once the course has been added to the 'Courses 'Editable' by TAs' column, you will be able to open the course gradebook and see that the text under the 'TA Access Rights' heading has changed to 'Can enter/edit grades prior to instructor submit'. This means that the TAs of the course can upload and save grades prior to the instructor reviewing and submitting them.
