It is assumed that the dynamics of Be star discs is dominated by the effects of viscous stresses. By examining angular momentum transport in discs, we show that many, if not all observed Be star discs should be accretion discs unless (i) the disc is acted upon by another agent (e.g. magnetic fields or the stellar radiation field), or (ii) the disc cools significantly as it flows outwards.
