When you have the Teacher role in a course, you can add colleagues to your course in the role of Grader, Grader-Builder, Builder and Observer. You cannot assign the role of Teacher, Student or cursist E-numbers, to another user, as these roles are assigned via the link with OSIRIS.
If you want to add working students or student-assistants to your course, they need to have an E-number or U-number.
If you want to learn more about the different roles and the rights associated with them, please read the article Which roles are available in Brightspace?
