Update Forum Permissions

You can update forum access permissions to specify which users can view or create posts in them. 

To access forums from the Knowledge Center, your system role must have at least read-only access to the Knowledge Center feature in System Roles (Learner-oriented Features > Learn Features), and unrestricted access to the Forum feature (Learner-oriented Features > Communicate Features).

To update forum permissions, your system role must have the Allow Forum Moderation permission in System Roles (Data Access Control > Role General Permissions). You must also have unrestricted access permission for the forum you want to update permissions on.

To update a forum's access permissions

1. Go to Home > Teach and select a Teach page tab. The Teach page opens at the selected tab.
2. Filter the sessions list, if required.
3. Select Launch Knowledge Center from a session's action menu. The Knowledge Center opens.
4. Click Forum. The forum category assigned to the course is listed.
5. Click the forum category title. The forum category opens in a new window and lists the forums assigned to it.
6. Select Permissions from a forum's action menu. The Permission Selector opens in a new window.
7. Select the users for read-only and unrestricted access as required, and then click Save.
