Can a Student be a TA or Grader or edit the course?

Student, TA  and Grader are all  Primary roles.
A user cannot have more than one Primary role. See Roles miniguide.
It occasionally happens that the TA or Graderis registered to the course through Minhal Talmidim, or that one of the Students must manage the course page.
A user with enrolment type of auto (i.e. a Student registered through Minhal Talmidim or a Teacher or TA listed in the Shnaton) cannot be unenrolled from Moodle.

The solution is to assign the Student a secondary role of Grading and/or Editing:
  • A Student with the secondary role of Grading has all the capabilities of a Grader.
  • A Student with the secondary role of Editing can edit the course page.A
Student with secondary roles of both Grading and Editing has as almost as much capability as a Teacher.
(There are a few minor differences. See Is there any difference between a Grader with the secondary role of Editing and a Teacher in the FAQ for teachers) An alternative solution is to assign the Student one of the Utility user roles. See What is the Utility user role?.
Then to grant the appropriate capabilities to that role.
For example, capabilities mod/assign:grade and mod/assign:viewgrades in order to grade Assignments, See Capabilities miniguide
