info
You can only customize community permissions using Status desktop.

In Status Communities, the Owner and TokenMaster roles can customize community permissions using tokens. Tokens are digital assets in a blockchain (such as the Ethereum blockchain), including virtual coins, collectibles and ENS domain names.

Once you set up token-based permissions, certain actions within your community are only available to users who own a particular token. For instance, Owners can restrict access to their community or delegate management functions to specific token holders.

info
In Status, your tokens are securely stored in your Status Wallet.

Community Owners and admins customize permissions using three different variables:

  • If you turn off the
    Who holds
     option, the permission isn't bound to a token. This option only applies to channel-level permissions.
  • For each permission, tokens are linked by
    AND
     operators. This means the new permission takes effect when the holder owns all the tokens. If you want to use the
    OR
     operator instead, create additional permissions.
