# Permissions

How to set up your channel permissions for best use.

Now that your <mark style="color:orange;">quick-setup</mark> is completed you have a list of new channels under the engage to earn category. By default @everyone is set to <mark style="color:red;">not</mark> have access to view these channels. \
\
You will want to add your <mark style="color:green;">Verified</mark> users role along with any other roles to the permissions section so they can interact with these channels.\
\
Below we will go over the permissions for the category and permissions for a couple individual channels.

1. Start with editing the <mark style="color:orange;">Engage to Earn category</mark> by right clicking on the category and go to Edit Category.

2\. Under the category <mark style="color:orange;">Permissions</mark>, you will want to add any roles that you want to have access to the engage to earn tools. Generally we add whatever your verified role would be and then any other roles you members may have.\
\
For the settings you want to have each role with **Send Messages** <mark style="color:red;">DISABLED</mark>.\
Then **View Channels**, **Add Reactions** and **Use External Emoji** <mark style="color:green;">ENABLED</mark>.\
Make sure you save your changes at the bottom.

3\. Next we want to manually edit the <mark style="color:orange;">permissions</mark> of the <mark style="color:green;">**#submit-quests**</mark>, <mark style="color:yellow;">**#daily-work**</mark>, <mark style="color:purple;">**#games**</mark>, and <mark style="color:blue;">**#loot-arena**</mark> channels. You want your community to be able to freely send messages in these four channels.\
\
You will have to edit each channel **one at a time**, you can edit the channel by clicking the gear icon next to it.

To edit the only permission change you are doing on these four channels is to allow your members to **Send Messages**.\
Remember to save changes at the bottom.
