Admin users can also add users to a special 'instructors' group. The 'instructors' group gives fewer privileges than hub Admins; members have write access to the 'Shared' folder as well as certain privileges for the nbgrader assignment system. Instructors cannot add new instructors or hub admins.
Adding users to the group can be done by first clicking the 'Manage Groups' link in the admin panel, and then

- Type an existing username into 'Add by username field'
- Click 'Add user'
- Click 'Apply'

The shared folder can be used as a simple way for sharing files from the course staff to students on the hub. The folder is a simple directory of which contents every user on the hub can see and read from, but only admin users and members of the instructor group can write to.
