# Track Requests System

### What does the track requests system do?

It allows members to use the `request` command, which works similarly to the play command.\
[DJs](/guides/cmd-permissions.md#dj-roles) are able to accept or deny requests. Regular users will not be able to use any other music managing command.

{% hint style="info" %}
This system is completely **optional**! Only implement it if you want it.
{% endhint %}

### How does this work?

Firstly, you have to set the requests channel. The request command will not function without it! You can only have one requests channel at a time. To add a requests channel, just run the following:

{% hint style="success" %}
`settings requests [#channel/channel ID]`
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
When a requests channel is set, regular members will not be able to use any music managing commands (join, leave, play, skip, etc.).
{% endhint %}

Now, members will be able to use the `request` command. When they use it, a message embed with information is sent to the requests channel. It contains the track name, link, author, duration, requester, and the current voice channel.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure StormBeatz has the `USE_EXTERNAL_EMOJIS` permissions in the channel!
{% endhint %}

[DJs](/guides/cmd-permissions.md#dj-roles) and server admins are able to accept or deny requests by clicking the respective buttons. If a request is accepted, the embed color will turn green and StormBeatz will add the track to the queue. If a request is denied, the embed color will turn red and StormBeatz will not add the track. After a request is reviewed, StormBeatz removes the buttons.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure StormBeatz has the `MANAGE_MESSAGES` permission in the channel!
{% endhint %}

### How can I restrict the request command to specific members?

The request command can only be accessed by members with a [music role](/guides/cmd-permissions.md#music-roles). If there is no music role, all members will be able to access it.

### How can I disable/remove the requests system?

To remove the requests system in your server, simply run the `settings requests [#channel/channel ID]` command again. Make sure to mention the same channel it's currently set to.
