# Command permissions

> Restrict who can use a command, in which channels, and with what Discord permission, per command or per module, from the dashboard's Advanced page.

The dashboard's **Advanced** page controls server-wide command behavior: turning commands off entirely, or restricting individual ones beyond Discord's own permissions.

## Command availability

Two switches turn message (prefix) and slash commands on/off for the whole server. Not per-command, see below for that.

## Command permissions

A rule targets a single **command** or a whole **module** (a group like all of Tickets). A command's own rule fully replaces its module's rule, they never merge.

Browse **Modules** or **Commands** (searchable) and click one to configure:

* **Required roles**: needs at least one. Empty allows anyone.
* **Required channels**: only works in these. Pick a category to require any channel under it. Empty allows anywhere.
* **Required permissions**: Discord permissions needed. Left empty, this normally falls back to the command's own built-in requirement, unless you've also set required roles or channels, in which case those are treated as the complete gate and the built-in requirement is skipped.
* **Disable for slash commands** / **Disable for prefix commands**: turns off just this rule's scope for one invocation style.
* **Cooldown**: wait time between uses. Setting anything above 0 needs Plus or Max.

Default fields mean no restriction. Use **Clear override** to remove a rule instead of emptying every field.

<Note>
  Role/channel/permission list sizes and total rule count scale with premium tier. The dashboard shows your current usage against the limit.
</Note>

## Example: restrict a command to one channel

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Advanced → Commands">Search for the command, click it.</Step>
  <Step title="Set Required channels">Add the channel or category.</Step>
  <Step title="Apply, then save">Changes aren't live until you save the page.</Step>
</Steps>
