Engineers are currently investigating the issue.
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
Instead, all students regardless of section limits should be able to create new discussions as long as the course permissions allow it.
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.
-
Try to save your discussion after giving it a title and description and notice nothing happens.
