# Role Selection

{% hint style="info" %}
**Good to Know:** This feature is great for those that don't want to over use @everyone and @here tags. Empower your guild users to select when they want to be notified of important announcements
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
In order for the bot to have permission to give the specified roles the bot must have a role higher in the list with Manage Roles permission than the roles you want it to be able to give.&#x20;
