To invite users or groups to join a discussion board:

1. If not already open, open the discussion board (see Opening a Discussion Board).

2. Click .

3. In the Invite People dialog box, specify the users or groups that you would like to invite. You can do this in the following ways:

   - Start typing the group name or user's first name, last name, or username in the edit box. As you type, a list of possible matches is displayed, enabling you to make a quick selection.

   - Click the arrow next to the edit box to display a list of all users and groups, then make the desired selection.

   Once you have selected a group or user, click Add to add them to the invitation list.

   Note: The groups and users available in the list depend on the permissions that have been set for the discussion board. If the default permissions are being used, all users are eligible to receive an invitation.
