Access rules:
- Course channel: students group + staff group. (Separation only needed, if you need to give different rights, ex delete everyone's posts)
- Staff channel: staff group only
- (If used) announcements channel: everyone can read; only staff can post
Enrollment notes:
- Users must exist in Zulip (via SSO login or invite) before they can be added to groups.
