# SecurityBot Admin

Anyone with this role can adjust **all SecurityBot settings**, except the admin role assignment itself. Users with Discord’s **Administrator** permission also inherit these privileges automatically.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Use with caution:**\
Only assign this role to very trusted team members — misuse could disable critical scam-prevention controls, leaving your community vulnerable.
{% endhint %}

***

### Set the Admin Role

Use this slash command to designate a SecurityBot admin role:

```
/settings admin_role [role]
```

**Example:**

```
/settings admin_role role:@Team
```

Only users holding this role (or Discord’s Administrator permission) can modify SecurityBot’s configuration.

***

### Why It Matters

* **Secure configuration**\
  Ensures only trusted staff can change critical settings.
* **Prevents misuse**\
  Reduces risk of settings being disabled or altered by mistake or malicious intent.

***

If you're ready, next up is configuring moderator permissions see the [SecurityBot Mod](/securitybot-knowledge-hub/bot-guide/administering-securitybot/securitybot-mod.md) section in the Administering guide.
