You do not have permission to add a new discussion topic for all participants.
I have had the permissions changed to allow students to start new discussions, I have applied the role of student across the system, and I have assigned the role as student to just the classes. I have tried to set up the forum as a simple forum, a standard general forum, and require each student to post one discussion. In the latter case, the student can reply to a discussion I start but they still the above comment when trying to post their own discussion. No matter what the option is, I get the same error.
