\label{Course_Disable_Discussion}
By default, all users of a course can use the discussion features
LON-CAPA provides. Only Course Coordinators have permission to disable
discussion for a course. A Course Coordinator can also disallow
resource discussion for specific roles or for specific users.

To disable discussion, do the following: 

\begin{enumerate}
