==No discussions, but replies are allowed==
 
An override may be used to set up a forum in which only teachers are to be allowed to start new discussions.
 
#Access the Assign roles page via the Roles tab in editing forum page, then follow the "Override roles" link. (In Moodle 1.9 onwards, click the "Override permissions" tab in the editing forum page.)
#Select the Student role.
#Set the capability [[Capabilities/mod/forum:startdiscussion|mod/forum:startdiscussion]] to prevent.
#Click the "Save changes" button.
 
Note: By default, only administrators are able to override permissions. Instructions on enabling teachers to override permissions can be found in [[Override permissions]].
 
==No discussions, no replies==
 
An override may be used to close/archive a forum so that students may no longer start new discussions, nor add replies, but may still read all the discussions.
 
#Access the Assign roles page via the Roles tab in editing forum page, then follow the "Override roles" link. (In Moodle 1.9 onwards, click the "Override permissions" tab in the editing forum page.)
#Select the Student role.
#Set the capabilities [[Capabilities/mod/forum:startdiscussion|mod/forum:startdiscussion]] and [[Capabilities/mod/forum:replypost|mod/forum:replypost]] to prevent.
#Click the "Save changes" button.
 
Note: By default, only administrators are able to override permissions. Instructions on enabling teachers to override permissions can be found in [[Override permissions]].
 
==Enabling students to rate posts==
 
By default, only admins and teachers can rate posts. An override may be used to enable students to rate posts.
 
#Access the Assign roles page via the Roles tab in editing forum page, then follow the "Override roles" link. (In Moodle 1.9 onwards, click the "Override permissions" tab in the editing forum page.)
#Select the Student role.
#Set the capability [[Capabilities/mod/forum:rate|mod/forum:rate]] to allow.
#Click the "Save changes" button.
 
Note: By default, only administrators are able to override permissions. Instructions on enabling teachers to override permissions can be found in [[Override permissions]].
