TA > SI > Student
Consider (correctly) a role to be a set of functions or permissions. Then SI should appear between TA and Student , lacking the grading and submission viewing of TA.
We can imagine two different levels:1.Sub-TA2.Super-Student

Two Levels of Supplemental Instructor
1. Sub-TAMakes some arrangements. Sets up materials,
scheduling, study sessions. Views membership.2. Super-StudentCan announce and poll. No authoring of materials
or initiation of learning activities.
