Role-Based Overrides

Role-based overrides are useful when you want to change specific settings based on the roles the author of the starred message has.

Note

The roles that the reactor (the person adding the star) has, have no effect on which role-based overrides are applied and which settings are used.

This guide will use the following scenario:

You have your Server Settings set to send messages to #starboard after 7 stars, but members with the @Prestigious role are special, they get their messages sent to #prestigious-starboard after 3 stars.

1. The first thing you need to do is create an override for the @Prestigious role:

   `/overrides create rolename:Prestigiousroles:@Prestigious`

   Tip

   If you want this role-based override to only apply in a set of channels and not in all channels, you can provide a list of channels:

   `/overrides create rolename:Prestigiousroles:@Prestigiouschannels:#general #prestigious-chat-1 #prestigious-chat-2`

2. Next, you’ll need to change the settings for the override you’ve just created:

   `/settings edit mainoverride:Prestigiousstarboard:#prestigious-starboardrequired-stars:3`

That’s it! Messages by members with the @Prestigious role will now be sent to #prestigious-starboard after getting 3 stars.
