Methods

AddPermissionOverwriteAsync(IRole, OverwritePermissions, RequestOptions)

Adds or updates the permission overwrite for the given role.

Declaration

Task AddPermissionOverwriteAsync(IRole role, OverwritePermissions permissions, RequestOptions options = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IRole	role	The role to add the overwrite to.
OverwritePermissions	permissions	The overwrite to add to the role.
RequestOptions	options	The options to be used when sending the request.

Returns

Type	Description
Task	A task representing the asynchronous permission operation for adding the specified permissions to the channel.

Examples

The following example fetches a role via GetRole(UInt64) and a channel via GetChannelAsync(UInt64, CacheMode, RequestOptions). Next, it checks if an overwrite had already been set via GetPermissionOverwrite(IRole); if not, it denies the role from sending any messages to the channel.

AddPermissionOverwriteAsync(IUser, OverwritePermissions, RequestOptions)
