Description
When the option to “limit this user to only see fellow section users” is enabled for a student, they are unable to create new discussions.
Expected Behavior

Workaround
No workaround exists at this time.
Steps to Reproduce
Prerequisites: A course with a student enrollment that is section limited that allows students to post discussions.
-
Go to discussions page as student and click add discussion.
