# Royalty Based Roles
Assign roles to users or gate Discord channels to users who have or have not paid royalties.
{% hint style="warning" %}
We advise Royalty Roles to be assigned **in addition** to holder roles to reduce friction for users entering a new community.
{% endhint %}
To set up a Royalty based role, select the "Add Rule" button. Next, select the "Royalty" option on the Rule menu.
Next, select your desired gating option for Royalties. You can choose to assign a role to users who have paid royalties, and also distribute roles to users who have not paid royalties.
