The Default configuration in Stellar checks off all boxes under TA Options, allowing TAs to create, edit, delete assignments, approve grades, and change Gradebook options.

The Section Gradebook is accessed through the section subsite(s). It displays only the participants in a particular section. The Section Gradebook does not prevent Graders or TAs from viewing the whole class Gradebook or sections other than their own, it merely allows them to focus in on the section to which they've been assigned. Calculations and histograms display section-based data in the section-filtered Gradebook.
