How can I allow students in Groups Discussions Assignments to view, but not participate in, one another's discusssions?

We'd like to allow students outside of particular groups to read one another's Group Discussions for an assignment. Can we do this and how? Thank you!

Hi @kimberly_hall1 ,

I could be wrong about this, however with I'm reasonably sure that by default students are not able to have view-only permissions on discussions assigned to other students. Generally, when a discussion, especially in a student group (if that's what you referencing) is created, all students in those groups are able to post on the discussion board, and when a student tries loading in a discussion not assigned to them or their group, it will take them to the course home-page, and will tell them they don't have access to the requested discussion.

I hope this helps answer your question!

All the best,
Noah
