PM49088: Discussion access DXL is not documented

Rational DOORS Fix Pack 6 (9.3.0.6) for 9.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DXL associated with controlling access rights on creation of
  discussions is not documented in the DXL manual.
  
  The following are the perms available. They are generally
  self-explanatory. To check the 'Allow everyone to create
  discussions' add the everyone group to the list using the string
  'Everyone' and save it. Similarly remove the group to uncheck it
  and allow other users/groups to be added.
  
  
  bool canModifyDiscussions({Module| Item| string}[, {User
  |string}])   //Current user if parameter not supplied
  bool canEveryoneModifyDiscussions({Module | Item})
  void addUser(Item, {User | string})
  void addGroup(Item, {Group | string})
  void removeUser(Item, {User | string})
  void removeGroup(Item, {Group | string})
  string saveDiscussionAccessList(Item)
  
  
  Where a {Module|Item|String} variants are possible, either
  should represent the module concerned.
