# Admins/Mods Getting Announcement Permissions

Allow listed **Admins** and **Mods** who have successfully setup their 2FA authentication can gain **announcement permissions** using the `ZTS Guard` Discord Bot. This allows those users to get permissions to make an announcement, and ping roles in specified channels. 

When a successful 2FA Authentication is provided, the registered **Admins** or **Mods** can get these **announcement permissions** for a set period of time. When the time expires, permissions are automatically removed and a successful 2FA authentication must be re-entered to regain access.

{% step %}

### Run the command

In `#zts-guard-admin`, type `/temporary-permissions` and select `authenticate.`

{% hint style="info" %}
**Admins** and **Mods** should have access to the `#zts-guard-admin` and `#zts-guard-logs` channel with `Use Application Commands` permissions so they can interact with the bot to use this command.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter ZTS Guard 2FA

Input your `ZTS Guard` 2FA code when prompted. Ensure you are entering the 2FA Code that you setup with the `ZTS Guard` Discord Bot and not your Discord 2FA or other 2FA codes.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select Announcement Permission

Upon a successful 2FA authentication you will then see all possible permissions that you can choose within the embedded message.

Select `Get permissions` and then to make an announcement select the `Can Post Announcements`  from the dropdown and hit `submit`. The permission will then be granted and a confirmation message shows how long until the permissions are automatically removed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Make Announcement

The user can then go directly to the announcement channel or registered channel.  They can type and ping roles directly from their user account providing the personality of the team to the community.
{% endstep %}
