The students may not enter a new discussion topic, although they have permission to do so.

Attached are screen captures of the message and the permissions for the user.

I'm confused why the student cannot create a topic when their permission for "Add a Question" is set to "Yes".

(Note:  the Student is in a Group and none of the group may start a topic.)

To begin with, could you check the settings in the Forum FAQ documentation question about why are students unable to post in a forum?

Thank you.  My mistake was that I had manually enrolled my testers/users and had not added them to the Group which has permission to add new topics.
My bad.
