Create Forum Category

Administrators with unrestricted access to the Discussion Forum Categories feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Community Manager Features) can create forum categories.

After creating a new forum category, you must configure its target audience and, if required, its access permissions for other administrators.

For other administrators to assign their forums to a forum category you have created, give them read-only access to the category.

To create a discussion forum category

Go to Manage Center > Communicate > Discussion Forum Categories. The Discussion Forum Categories page opens with a list of forum categories that your user account has read-only or unrestricted access permission for.
Click + Create New Category. The Create Forum Category page opens.
Enter a name for the forum category.
Click Save. The category is added to the list in the Discussion Forum Categories page.
