Before creating a discussion forum ensure an appropriate forum category has been configured first, as the category defines which users can participate in or view the forum topics.

After creating a discussion forum, you can configure its access permissions for other administrators, if required.

Administrators with unrestricted access to the Discussion Forums feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Community Manager Features) can configure forums.

To create a discussion forum

1. Go to Manage Center > Communicate > Discussion Forums. The Discussion Forums page opens with a list of forums that your user account has read-only or unrestricted access permission for.
2. Click + New Forum. The New Forum dialog opens.
3. Enter the forum name and, optionally, a brief description.
4. Click the browse icon to select a forum category to assign the forum to. You can only select a category for which you have read-only or unrestricted permission.
5. Select the forum type.
6. Click Save.
