| {{Forums}}It is possible to change different capabilities for a specific role or assign a user a specific role, that already has the desired capabilities. This can be done in the context of a course and/or a specific forum by the Roles function introduced in Moodle 1.7.

| | |
| By default, a teacher can "Locally assign roles" to specific students. For example, give them a "non-editing teacher" role in a forum to act as a moderator. However, only administrators are able to override permissions for a role. Instructions on enabling teachers to override permissions can be found in Override permissions.

| ==Locally assign roles==
| |
| #Click on the [[Image:Forum update this forum button.jpg]] button | |
| #Select the "Locally assign roles" tab
| |
| #Select the non-editing teacher role link (this sets every Forum permission to allow, except "throttling")
| |
| #High lite students in the right column and use the move arrow to put them in the left column ([[Assign_roles#Assigning_a_role|example here]])
| |
| #Click on the settings tab
| |
| | |
| *Some teachers will assign all members of the forum (or forum [[Groups|group]]) the non-editing teacher role to increase the potential for interaction within that forum.
| |
| *Some sites administrators will create a specific site wide role that include all standard student permissions, plus the Rate posts "allow" permission. They make this role available for teachers to use in "Locally assign roles".

| ===Some types of forum capabilities===
| |
| ====No discussions, but replies are allowed====
| |
| | |
| The [[Capabilities/mod/forum:startdiscussion|mod/forum:startdiscussion]] override may be used to set up a forum in which only teachers are to be allowed to start new discussions.
| |
| | |
| 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 administrators and teachers can rate posts. The best practice is for the teacher to use a role [[Override permissions|override function]] to enable students to rate posts. The override can be for the course or for a specific forum.
| |
| | |
| It is also possible to assign individuals a role for a specific forum, using the "Locally assigned roles" tab via the "Update this Forum" button link. For example, two specific students might be given the "teacher" role in a specific forum.
