A Discussion Board conversation is an opening message with replies that customers can follow; a community group or private guest list controls who can access it.

## Authentication

  This endpoint requires OAuth2 authentication. Include a valid bearer token in the `Authorization` header.
  The authenticated user must be a full unrestricted administrator or have the **`CommunityThread-Create`** role.
