# Action: Add Role
Discord Operation
The Add Role action in Discord assigns a specific role (and its permissions) to a user on a server.

#### Example User Story
I want to give new team members access to our project channels, so I use the Add Role action in Discord to assign them the "Project Contributor" role.
#### Fields

| userId | String | Yes |
| roleId | String | Yes |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.planetcrust.com/discord/discord/action-add-role.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
