Adding Activity Feed permissions to new roles...

I'm trying to allow a new role to post via the Activity Feed widget in a course offering, but since this widget is not included in "Roles and Permissions," I'm unsure how to go about adding this ability to a specific role in a course offering beyond facilitator/instructor . I do not want learners to be able to post, so the configuration variable doesn't seem to help. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi @Kelsey LAMBRIGHT
I presume that you have already enabled the Activity Feed widget with the following CVB:
d2l.Tools.ActivityFeed.Enabled
d2l.Tools.ActivityFeed.ShowWidget
Next step would be to map/determine what the user will experience in the feed, so you won't necessarily find the type of explicit permissions you would otherwise expect to see.
To review role mapping you go to Admin Tools>IMS Configuration.
Here is a link to the documentation site that covers which roles will be able to do what:
Thanks,

Yes, thank you! I mapped the roles and that worked.
