Users need to enter information such as forum name, description, and visibility mode of questions or discussions.

Privacy settings of the forum:
Public: the forum is public to everyone.
Signed in: only members having portal accounts and logged into the system can join.
Some users: limited to members of specific groups.
Setting Karma points and the related rights to control, manage, review as well as avoid sending spam messages during the forum operation.
