Not sure what I am doing wrong here. But only Page Admin's can make new Discussions.
Thanks for the input on this Jean, let me discuss with the team and see if there's anything that we can do. Perhaps allowing people who like the page also create and participate on discussions just like groups.

Hello Jean,

By default only page admins or owners can create discussions on pages. It's behavior is unlike Group or Events because Pages are often company pages. If user's want to send a message on the page, they could post in the story form

Thanks for clarifying Mark, very much appreciated.

Maybe having the new discussion button for followers invisible would be a good idea, or even the complete section only for Admin visible?

Hello Jean,

Hm, not too sure if I understand you here but the discussions for pages are explicitly only available to site admin and page admin / owners only.

Yes your right, but they are also visible for Followers, having discussions only for admin and then also visible for followers makes no sense, because they cant post.

PS: Ok, follower can reply to a open discussion, but I would love to have the option that Followers could open a new discussion or to completely hide it from followers. My Idea is to use discussions as an small support forum for followers, if not possible then use it for admin's internally and not visible for followers.
