Channel permissions

Permissions are organised by role at the group level, then fine-tuned per channel via overrides. Discord-style if you’ve seen that model — the bones are the same.

Roles

Open Group settings → Roles to manage roles. Each role has a set of permissions — the things members with that role can do. PostRoll ships four presets:

Game Master — manages channels, members, messages, and roles below their own; voice priority speaker.
Moderator — delete messages, kick disruptive members, audit log access.
Player — chat, react, voice, but no moderation tools.
Spectator — read-only access.

Pick a preset when creating a role, then adjust if needed.

A member can hold multiple roles; the effective permission is the union of every role they hold plus the implicit @everyone role.

Per-channel overrides

To tweak permissions on a single channel without changing the group-wide role:

Right-click the channel in the rail → Edit permissions (or Group settings → Channels → pick the channel).
Add a role override. The override has two columns:
- Allow — add this permission to anyone with the role in this channel.
- Deny — remove the permission for this channel only.
Save.

Same screen lets you add member overrides for one specific person — useful for “Grant Aerin the GM permissions for this channel only” without making them a GM group-wide.

Common patterns

GM-only planning channel — @everyone deny View channel, Game Master role allow View channel.
Read-only announcements — @everyone deny Send messages.
No reactions — deny Add reactions.
Voice priority for the GM — Game Master allow Priority speaker.

Resolution order

When PostRoll decides whether you can do something:

If you have Administrator, granted.
Otherwise, your base permissions are everything your roles grant, combined.
Apply role allow / deny overrides for this channel.
Apply your member-specific allow / deny override.

The result tells PostRoll yes or no. The same rules are enforced behind the scenes — the app just hides buttons you can’t use.
