Setting Restrictions for Discussions
D2L offers instructors several options to limit viewing or posting access to Discussion Forums and Topics. If you wish to modify the visibility/ availability of a Discussion Topic, click on the Restrictions tab.
NOTE: Restrictions can also be set at the Forum level, but keep in mind that those settings will control/ may override the visibility of the individual topics listed under it.
