How do I create a new forum post as an announcement?

Hey community members,

I'm hoping you can help me with a question around forum posts as announcements. There is a permission in the forums called "Forum - Mark Thread as Annoucement"  and can  be seen in the list of permissions here:  Permissions defined 

However, I cannot find any documentation on this and I don't see any options for this functionality in the forum options, application creation or even the group options. Does anyone know how this functionality works and where I can find it?   I have double checked all the out of box widgets and still nothing.

We are using version 13.0.2

Thank!

  • I'm using 13.0.2.33658 . My permissions look like this:     

    We did discover that this permission only appears to be linked to the Priority setting of "Forever" (is announcement = true when set to forever sticky), but it doesn't have any visual indicators unfortunately. We also try to never make things sticky forever, so I'm not sure how that would make it an announcement... 

    That's odd you guys don't see that.
