Forum administrators

Forum administrators moderate the forums in a community. Community administrators assign forum administrators.

Forum moderators create forums about an asset in a community or create forums for a community. There are two main types of forums: asset and community.

Asset forums can be configured to use a change management system, such as Rational® ClearQuest®. When a forum is linked to a change management system, the topics in the forum can be defects or enhancements, and each of the posts in the topics are added as notes in the defect or enhancement record. Forum administrators can share forums across assets. This allows users to discuss related assets in one forum that is shared between the common assets.

Community forums are forums where users who interact regularly with assets in a specific community can go to discuss the whole community.
