Course Section Director: Can see all data for the course section, including all survey results on instructor-type questions

Instructor: Can see all data for the course section, but can not see instructor-type question survey results for Course Section Directors or other Instructors.  Can see TA survey results.

Teaching Assistant: Can see and edit limited data within the course section, and can only see their own survey results.
