# Autorole

> Give roles to new members, and give roles back when people rejoin.

## <Icon icon="plus" size={24} /> Add a role

Run it once per role. Or tick the roles on the dashboard's **Roles** tab.

  /autorole add <role>
  ```

  ```plaintext Example theme={null}
  /autorole add role:@Member
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Newt's role must sit above every role it gives out. Drag it up in **Server Settings → Roles**.
</Warning>

    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="See the list" icon="list">
    Shows each role, with a warning next to any Newt can't give.

    /autorole list

## <Icon icon="robot" size={24} /> Bot autorole

A separate list for bots, on the dashboard's **Roles** tab. A new bot gets these roles as soon as it joins, and never gets the member list.

## <Icon icon="rotate-left" size={24} /> Sticky roles

Switch on **Give people their roles back when they rejoin** on the **Roles** tab. Newt remembers someone's roles when they leave and gives them back if they return. Staff roles and roles with dangerous permissions are never given back.

## <Icon icon="circle-info" size={24} /> Good to know

* With a rules screen, roles arrive after the member accepts the rules.
* Up to 10 roles, or 25 with [Premium](/help/premium).
* A deleted role drops off the list by itself.

**Permission:** Manage Roles
