Permission Overwrites

Explanation page for changing permissions of a channel

Explanation

In Discord, we use a custom array of overwrites to set custom permissions to a channel.

This is pretty simple once you know what to do.

There's also a decision between Member and Role overwrites, Member overwrites will add a member to the channel, Role overwrites will add a role to the channel.

Add a permission

The variable $permission used below is defined as a Permission instance.

To add a Member to the Channel:

$channel->addPermission(new GuildPermissionMemberOverwrite("member_id", $permission));

To add a Role to the Channel:

$channel->addPermission(new GuildPermissionRoleOverwrite("role_id", $permission));

Remove a permission

To remove a permission you can simply call

$channel->removePermission($id);

$id might either be a snowflake or a GuildPermissionOverwrite instance
