  The Forums page appears, displaying an expandable list of all created forums, grouped in forum groups, with the number of threads and posts in each forum, together with actions you can perform on them.
• Forum threads page
  When you click a forum, you can view a list of all threads in this forum and the number of posts in each thread, together with actions you can perform on each thread.
• Forum posts page
  When you click a thread, the Posts page opens, where you can view a list of all posts in this thread, together with actions you can perform on each post.

You can set permission for all forums and you can set individual permissions for each forum.
