The forum function is a good way to communicate internally with e.g. groups. The function is based on the same rights system as the access to Speedadmin.
I.e. groups are created, groups are assigned rights and members are assigned to the groups.
If you want to create a subject group forum, it is important to first create a rights group under Settings - Rights (e.g. guitar), and register the respective users (guitar teachers) in the group.
1. Creating groups
This is where you create main groups in the Forum e.g. Subject Group Forum. Remember also to assign the Rights Group to the Forum Group by pressing "+". Only members of the assigned rights groups will be able to view the group and its forums.
2. Setting up a forum
Here you create the various forums and specify the group in which the forum should be located. By pressing "+" you can specify which rights groups will have Read, Write, Create and Delete access.
Finally, it is also possible to manage which students/teachers/users should subscribe to each forum. If you are a subscriber, you will receive an e-mail when a new thread is created in a forum.
Accessing a Forum
Make sure that the users you want to access the forum function have access through their menu and that the necessary rights to view forum have been assigned properly.
To view the forums in speedadmin the right "View forum" need to be added to the relevant rights group.
To create and edit a forum and forum groups in settings the rights "View master data forum groups" and "View mater data forums" need to be added to the relevant rights group.
