How can participants in my forum create new topics?^
As explained in the Forum Settings, "People with General Access can view content and Reviewers can post."
By default, for course portfolios, all participants in the class are reviewers. For non-course portfolios, no one is a reviewer.
To add a reviewers go to Manage Page, then Access Settings, and put the usernames of the people you want to review in the Reviewers text box.
