I was able to replicate this issue by logging out and attempting to create a poll as a non admin in Project14 and it did not allow me.
This is not by design, as far as I am aware, and it makes no sense that you wouldn't be able to create a poll in that space.
The only thing I can think of is that this may be related to the Jive update, can't say for sure until someone can fill me in why this might be the case.
I've moved your poll over to the Project14 space and I will launch a ticket for this with the dev team.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Not sure why that would be happening, the only thing I can think of is its a bug.

2 of 2 people found this helpfulWhat happens if instead of creating it from wherever you create the poll, you first navigate to the project14 space?
I.e. try the "create a poll" link here: Project14
Not saying that you don't have a problem, nor am I suggesting the above as a workaround, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this. Sometimes the permissions caching goes a bit astray, and I'm checking if that's the case here.

dudley.nelson I tried several Project14 web pages to start creating a poll including:
None of them defaulted to Project14 as a place and when browsing to select a place, Project14 is grayed out.

Hi Doug,
This is a bigger bug than I imagined.
I'm working with danzima to verify this and we will raise a ticket for this as he's getting the same thing I am.
Basically, anything that's a space is not letting you submit poll but you can do it in groups such as RoadTests.
Most areas on the community are spaces, not groups, so there is potentially a lot of areas of the community that have been affected by this.

danzima did some digging around and this isn't a bug, it is by design.
I wasn't aware of this until now but there is documentation that says only admin users are able to create polls whereas groups do allow for poll creation by non admin users
The workaround is quite simple though.
You would just create the poll in the members hub:
or from a group
and then embed the poll into a document or blog post as in the attached screenshot.
You'd select Micropoll and enter the poll id and the polls embedded like what we do with the monthly poll.
Roadtests and Ben Heck are a bit different as those areas are groups but most of the areas people visit on the community frequently are spaces....
