Sharing one Forum (or other portlets) among different course sections
Many faculty teach multiple sections of the same course and want to combine the students from each section into one Forums discussion group. Here's how to do that:
Decide which course section will be the "master", (i.e.- will use its Forum for all sections). Usually this is the section with the most students enrolled. The section(s) with the fewer students will be the secondary sections.
Step 1: Adding students from one section to the other
Open the master course section's Forums, click on the wrench icon in the upper right corner of the portlet
Click on the "Permissions" tab.
Click "Add a Role" and follow the steps described in the previous section on "Adding Roles" or continue to follow instructions below.
Name it "Other students" or whatever you like. Click "Add Individual Users"
Type last names of users into the "search" box (1). As the names appear, select the correct one (2) and add to the new role list (3)(4). Repeat until all students are added to the new list, click "OK" when done (5).
Check off the operations you want to allow the "Other students" group, this should match the master section?s students permissions and is usually these categories; "Can Add Messages", "Can Add and Delete Own Messages", and possibly "Can Manage Messages" or "Can Manage Categories".
Step 2: Create the link from one course section to the other
Copy the URL for the Forums page of the master section.
Open the secondary course section Main Page and create a link in the Custom Content portlet to the master section's Forum.
Type "Click here to go to the shared Forums" (or similar wording). Highlight this sentence and click on the hyperlink icon in the text edit window 
Paste the URL you had copied from the master Form portlet's page into the appropriate text box (1). Click "OK" (2).
Click "Save"
Click "Exit Edit Mode"
The Main Page of this secondary course section should now have this custom content portlet, linking the students to the master section's Forums page.
