- Bug 5917. Course preference to disable anonymous posts to discussion.
  - uses 'pac' priv.

\label{Course_Disable_Anonymous_Discussion}
By default, all users of a course who can use the discussion features
LON-CAPA provides may choose to post anonymously, although if a user
does so, course personnel can still see the identity of the user
responsible for the post. If you want to ensure that a user's
peers will also be able to see the true identity of a poster
then, as Course Coordinator, you will need to disable anonymous 
discussion posts for the course (for specific user roles, e.g.,
student). A Course Coordinator can also disallow anonymous 
discussion posting by specific users.

To disable anonymous discussion posting, do the following: 

\begin{enumerate}
\item Select 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{crsconf}
\textbf{Modify course configuration} on the Main Menu.
\item At the \textbf{Course Configuration} screen check
\textbf{Discussion and Chat} and click \fbox{Display}.
\item Select specific roles and/or users as desired in the 
\textbf{No Anonymous Resource Discussion} row.
\item Click \fbox{Save Changes}.
\end{enumerate}
