Table: Community Manager Features Access Permissions

Feature	Access Permission Description
Community Manager	Read Only provides access to the Community Manager menu in the Manage Center. However, if the access permission for all of the features is set to No access, the Community Manager menu is disabled. No access prevents the role from accessing the Community Manager menu. Each Community Manager page can still be accessed directly via a URL link as long as their access permission is either Read Only or Unrestricted.
Discussion Forum Categories	Read Only provides access to the Discussion Forum Categories page in the Manage Center, where the role can view a list of existing discussion forum categories. Unrestricted access additionally enables the role to create, edit, delete and set permissions for discussion forum categories. No access prevents the role from accessing the Discussion Forum Categories page and removes it from the Manage Center > Communicate menu.
Discussion Forums	Read Only provides access to the Discussion Forums page in the Manage Center, where the role can view and filter the list of existing discussion forums. Unrestricted access additionally enables the role to create, edit, delete and set permissions for discussion forums. No access prevents the role from accessing the Discussion Forums page and removes it from the Manage Center > Communicate menu. This feature permission relates to discussion forum administration from the Manage Center only and does not effect users' access to discussion forums from their primary navigation (for example, Connect > Forums).
Message Board	Read Only provides access to the Message Board Maintenance page in the Manage Center, where the role can view the list of existing broadcast messages and their text. Unrestricted access additionally enables the role to create, edit and delete messages. No access prevents the role from accessing the Discussion Forums page and removes it from the Manage Center > Communicate menu. Users can view messages by going to the ?TX=LISTBLTNS page on your LMS server. For example, https://server_name/ekp/servlet/ekp?TX=LISTBLTNS.
