# chiefOfStaff.rules.save

Add or change a rule for some people: by Discord person or role, optionally only in some channels, give them tools, take tools away, answer them with a profile, or add instructions. A tool turned off anywhere else stays off. Pass id and expectedRevision to change a rule. Only the platform owner's workspace has a Chief of Staff. Administrator access required.
