Role Mess-up in Forums

Hi all.

I am currently using 1.7.1. which shows the following roles: Guest, Student, Non-editing teacher, teacher and admin.

I have a few forums on the front page for general use (say Forum A, Forum B... ). How do I tweak permissions such that:

1) All users who are logged in are able to view and reply  but not Add a new discussion in Forum A

2) All users logged in are able to view,add and reply in Forum B

3) All users logged in cannot view Forum C.

I have tried all possible settings, nothing has worked. I am yet to upgrade to higher versions, where I believe these issues are addressed easily. Any light on teh matter?

Hi Neha,

Unless you want all users to be enrolled on every course as a student, you need to upgrade to Moodle 1.8 in order to set permissions for front page forums.
