title: /autorole
description: Automatically give a role to everyone who joins.

## Overview

`/autorole` sets the role BetterAntiSpam assigns to new members when they join the server.

## Required Permissions

- **Administrator**

## Options

| Option | Required | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| `role` | No | Role to assign to new members. Omit to disable autorole. |
| `owner_consent` | No | Server owner only: allow autorole to use a role with Administrator permissions |

## Behavior

- Omitting `role` turns autorole off.
- BetterAntiSpam refuses to set a role positioned above its own highest role, or above yours (unless you're the server owner).
- Setting a role that carries Administrator requires extra confirmation: the server owner can approve it directly with `owner_consent`, otherwise the request is sent for admin approval unless the server has turned that requirement off.
- Autorole is independent of verification. If verification is also enabled, members receive the autorole regardless of their verification status.
