Does a Chapter 7 discharge effect the liability of other parties who may be liable to a creditor on a discharged debt?

A Chapter 7 discharge releases only the debtor. The liability of any other party on a debt is not affected by a Chapter 7 discharge. The only exception to this rule is in community property states where the spouse of a debtor may also be released from certain community debts.
