In general, permissions are determined by the individual settings of the server, categories, and channels. Overwrite means to replace something with something else.

A permission will replace another according to the different permission levels. This can be confusing, especially for new server administrators.

Permissions are determined in the order of server settings, categories, and channels, but Discord determines what a user can and cannot do in a different order.

Creating a welcome channel is a great way to guide new members of your server. Post your code of conduct and any Discord-specific instructions in this channel.

You can lock down the welcome channel to prevent others from editing the information. To do this, go to the channel's settings and deny everyone permission to write messages.

Make sure your welcome channel is at the top of your channel list so new members see it first.

To understand how to sync channel permissions, it's essential to know the terminology used in Discord. Permission Level determines the priority of settings, including role versus user settings.

A Server Level, also known as Guild Level, refers to the role settings found in the server menu. This is where you can manage roles and permissions for your server.

Category and Channel Level settings are found on the permission tab of a category or channel settings page. These settings include role and user settings, which are crucial for syncing channel permissions.

Member-specific permissions are given per user on channel or category settings. This means you can customize permissions for each member on your server.

Permission Overwrites, also known as Permission Overrides, replace another permission. This is an essential concept to understand when syncing channel permissions.
