# Permission resources

> The problem is that, intuitively, people are adding roles to each channel and ticking the green check box to enable chat. That's the problem. We are not supposed to do that. We are supposed to set that in default role permission that applies across the server and not even worry about having to set that in each channel. Permissions within a channel should almost always be the neutral "/" option. "/" means that a default server-wide setting is being applied. So, if you gave a role a default permission to chat, then "/" means they can chat in all channels they have access to on your server. I can see why Discord did this because once you learn how this works, it's easier because you don't have to micromanage permissions for each channel. As for mute, for as long as the permission inside the channel is "/", when you add a mute role and select "X", it will work because the neutral "/" always yields to "X". In a nut shell, if you are checking that green check mark on prime roles inside your channels, you need to change that to "/" and make sure that prime roles have permission to chat by default. Then, a mute role will work as it should.
