# Fake Permissions
{% hint style="info" %}
Replace `[prefix]` with your server's prefix.
{% endhint %}
## What are fake permissions?
Fake permissions are a way to help keep your server safe. With fake permissions, you can allow roles to use certain commands that require a permission without actually giving the role a permission. This will prevent any malicious harm to your server.
## Why use fake permissions?
If your roles don't have any dangerous permissions, a bot or untrustworthy/compromised staff member won't be able to do anything without using serenity.
{% hint style="warning" %}
You need to be an **administrator** to run these commands.
{% endhint %}
To **grant** roles fake permissions, use the following command:
```
// Syntax
[prefix]fakepermissions add [role] [permission]
// Example
;fakepermissions add @Mod manage_messages
```
To **revoke** fake permissions, use the following command:
```
// Syntax
[prefix]fakepermissions remove [role] [permission]
// Example
;fakepermissions remove @Mod manage_messages
```
After running these commands, serenity will tell you that you have **added/removed** fake permissions to/from a role.
