# AutoMod Settings

There are a few basic settings that you can use in the settings tab. To access the settings tab, press it after selecting a server.

## Authorized Managers

Authorized managers can access your server's AutoMod system through the InfinityBot dashboard without needing the `manage server` or `administrator` permissions.&#x20;

You can add a new manager with the steps below:

{% step %}
First of all, press the "Add New" button.&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
After that, a window will pop up. Enter the [user ID](/infinitybot-docs/guides/discord-guides/how-to-get-an-id-on-discord.md) in there of the user that you would like to add as manager.&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
After you entered the ID, it should load up the user's profile. If it is the correct user, press "Add Manager" and confirm your action.&#x20;

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Added managers that do not have the `manage server` or `administrator` permissions in the server are not able to add or remove any other managers.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Keep in mind that authorized managers can view, edit, create and delete your server's AutoMod rules. You should only add trusted admins as AutoMod managers.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Default Settings

Default settings can be used to save settings across all AutoMod rules. This means you will not have to set up settings for every rule separately.

<figure><img src="https://2255898787-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZqXmdaTQZknKkvcG0Uxz%2Fuploads%2FcMAK716BmNeZXMBYazHe%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=c91ed1fc-5ce5-4dbe-ad60-2579937da6e7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Configure Actions

In these fields you can select what you want Discord to do when a message triggers this AutoMod rule. A few fields should be filled in:

#### Default Custom Block Message

This message will be shown as reason when a user's message gets blocked.&#x20;

#### Default Logging Channels

In the channel that you select here, Discord will send a notification whenever a user breaks an AutoMod rule in your server.&#x20;

#### Default Timeout Duration

This is the duration a user will be blocked from sending messages in your server after they broke an AutoMod rule.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure Exemptions

#### Default Exempt Channels

The channels and categories that you select here will be ignored by your server's AutoMod system.&#x20;

#### Default Exempt Roles

The users that have roles that you select here will be ignored by your server's AutoMod system.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Done with changing default settings? Don't forget to press the "Save Default Settings" button in the bottom right of the window to save your default settings.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enabling Default Settings on AutoMod Rules

After setting up default settings, you will have to enable them for each rule.&#x20;

First of all, [locate the rule](/infinitybot-docs/automatic-moderation/automod-dashboard-manager.md#decide-what-rule-you-want-to-create) you want to enable default settings on. Then you can press the 'Use Defaults' button in each rule where you wish to use default settings. This button is located at the top of the "Actions" section of each rule.&#x20;
