Hi, just chipping in about the roles spreadsheet...

> Do staff only need Author roles for this group?

Yep.

> I was thinking of doing this using an Excel spreadsheet based on the roles template. I remember though that there is some caveat about this approach not being cumulative. We have about 80 teachers - is it safer to add the roles manually?

Is the caveat you're referring to the same as the warning at the bottom of this page - http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lamsdocs/Import+Users - ? i.e. that the roles spreadsheet *sets* roles, it doesn't add them...? If so, it should be OK, since you're adding users to a new group, not overwriting their roles in an existing group.
