Forum Category Target Audience

You can define the target audience for a discussion forum category to specify which users can view and—depending on the forum type—post topics and replies to forums assigned to the category. You can select a user targeting template to dynamically select users for the target audience, or select the users manually by specifying them individually or via one or more of the following selection criteria:

• User group
• Organization
• Organization attribute
• Role
• User attributes 1 to 8

You can define the target audience only for forum categories for which you have unrestricted access.

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

To define the target audience for a forum category

1. 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.
2. Select Target Audience from the action menu of the forum category you want to define the target audience for. The Forum Category Target Audience page opens.
3. Select the users who will have access to the forum and click Save.
