# Special Roles

## Bot Role

You can specify your server’s bot role. This will allow temporary VC channels to automatically give bots the required permissions upon creation. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Also automatically assigns the role to bots that enter the server.
{% endhint %}

## Entry Role

Assigns a role to all members on server entry. You can also retroactively assign the specified role to all members in the server. This does not apply to bots.

## Newbie Role

Similar to entry roles - however, once certain conditions are met (customizable), the role will be automatically removed. The default settings are to be removed after <mark style="color:yellow;">**5 messages AND either 10 hours in VC or 2 weeks since joining the server**</mark>. If conditions are not met, the role will automatically be assigned upon interaction with the server. Otherwise, you can use <mark style="color:yellow;">**Mass Assign**</mark> similar to entry roles.

## Gate Role

When a user is given this role, the user will automatically be <mark style="color:yellow;">kicked</mark> or <mark style="color:yellow;">banned</mark>, depending on the setting.

## VC Role

This role will automatically be given when a user a joins a voice channel and removed when the user disconnects. The role will be applied <mark style="color:yellow;">5 seconds after</mark> joining/leaving.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://shaynicide.gitbook.io/starbot/settings-menu/special-roles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
