This has me curious, so I did a little digging; it appears the system in place to ensure Questions have Engine version tags is not using the Engine version tag group but a separate list that isn’t used. I’ll be adjusting this to coincide with the Engine version tags. Thank you for the additional flag to help us get to the bottom of the problem!

This issue should now be resolved, the tags have been added to the Question system to coincide with the Engine tag group Please refresh, and please do let us know if there are any other issues, and thank you again!
It looks like Epic Games created a prototype of the “Skynet” 
Hold that thought; it appears there is still an issue! I will update shortly!
@i_Byte It seems like you had success posting your question! Huzzah!
Yes. Many thanks!

I have something to add to this issue. I just posted a “Question” in the Audio Category. As long as the only tag I had set was “Question”, it could not locate the version tags and yet would still get the error as above. Once I hit the + and added the tag MetaSounds, then when I hit the plus again, all the UE Versions popped up. This had received the same error as shown in a couple of posts above up until I added in a second tag and the second tag could not be the version tag (since it couldn’t find them).
I guess you could say this is user error, but nowhere did it say I had to include a tag other than Question prior to selecting a Version tag. Perhaps only an issue when posting a question (versus a forum topic). If my experience is representative, the possibly the error should say, “You must include a Version tag after you include an additional topic tag” 
I am still unable to post under the UE5 tag.
There isn’t a strict UE5 tag; the tag would be UE5-0. Which area in the forums are you seeing this problem?
I was trying in Asset Creation, so I’ve used “UE4” instead.
This verifies what I mentioned a few posts back and has now worked twice for me. I just posted again and the sequence in which I posted the tags made the difference in whether I could use 5 versions of the Version Tags. This applies to Questions and it seems to work like a charm.
- Click the plus in the tags section, it will show Questions by default.
- Type in and select a topic oriented tag like “Metasounds” only one that pertains to your post.
- Press the plus again and the versions will immediately all pop up there to select.
My guess is that the software is designed to want you to provide a meaningful topic tag before it will let you continue to select your version tag. If it didn’t do that, the post could not be included in any tag searches other than “Questions” (and in this case UE4 since that is available in the first selection list) which isn’t really a meaningful tag at all. If you pick a subject matter topic first, all the versions appear next.
All working great with the tags now! 
I have noticed, however, that all of the new posts I have made are automatically tagged as “Feature Request”. When I try editing it out after posting, it won’t remove.
Super glad to hear they are working great!
That one alluded me for a moment there. The tag group for ‘Feature Request’ was forcing that tag on posts that had tags that were also in that group. This should now be resolved, though! Thank you!

Way make it so hard to post?
Answer Hub was 100 times easier
Please, add a tag text boks, so we can add tags and post
Try this. When it does that, click the x to get rid of the red error message. Press the plus, select a topic associated with the question you are asking (for example MetaSounds). After that, press the + again and you should see the pull down full of UE versions. This is what worked around it for me. As long as it just said “question” in that box, I couldn’t select version tags.
My experience was that once you are in that “You are not permitted to view…”, just close the browser, start a new session and then do your question like I mentioned about 3 posts up. It always works now for me and never worked when I started posting here again. Sometimes doing exactly what you saw there. It always seemed by then something was really hosed.
EXACTLY! HOW TO ADD A VERSION TAG IN NEW UNREAL ANSWER HUB????? - YouTube
For gods sake, I’m trying since over an hour to drop a question, but what the hell is going on with this new “Answer Hub”???

I’m going to try and be more explicit how I solved this for myself and hopefully help others since they continue to run into this. The sequence I have to use to avoid the version tag problem seems to be fairly rigid.
- Click the post topic, select Question
- Fill out your subject
- Fill out the question including uploading stuff (screen shots, documents etc)
- Click the Right Hand plus box. By default, this box will say Question
- Select the topic for your question, such as MetaSounds
- Click the Right Hand plus box again. Locate the UE version in the resulting popup.
- Post your question
I will get the error about adding the version tag and be unable to select it until after I have done steps 4 and 5, but on doing those steps, the next time the Right Hand plus is pressed, all the versions will popup to be able to select.
If I deviate from this order, I will eventually start getting the permission error people have mentioned in this thread. If I deviate from this order, I won’t be able to select a version tag. The forum software seems to want to have a topic tag selected prior to showing the version tags.
I do nothing with Left Hand box. I assume it’s what the forum software needs to place the question in the correct major category and is not pertinent if the topic was started in the right category.
The above is all assumption but works for me. That is to say, there may be other more correct ways, but I can get questions in this way.
