Issue/Question
When I attempt to access a discussion forum (unavailable to students) as an instructor or manager, I receive the following error message:
Access Denied
Environment
Cause
This is a known issue with Blackboard.
Resolution
Blackboard's recommended work-around is to make the discussion forum available temporarily in order to view/edit threads.
- Hover over the unavailable forum.
- Select Edit from the drop-down menu.
- Within the Forum Availability section, select Yes for Available and ensure date and time restrictions are not set.
- Click Submit.
- Revert Forum Availability settings when done viewing/editing threads.
