As an instructor, you have access to sensitive data in Blended Teaching relating to the students in your class. You also have the ability to share instructor level access with other instructors or teaching assistants. If you do, they will also access the same sensitive student data.
This article discusses how to add and remove instructors to your class in the following steps:

1. Best Practice & Liability
When you share instructor access to your Blended Teaching textbook, you are providing access to sensitive student data. By sharing access, you will be assuming liability for the security of the data for the person that you have invited.
We recommend that you never allow instructor access to your Blended Teaching textbook to any one, unless they can evidence to you that they have satisfied all necessary FERPA training and requirements provided by your university and that you have a written request from a person of relevant authority in the university to provide access to that person.
We also strongly advise never to share your instructor login details with anyone, under any circumstance. This is the leading cause of data breaches.
