The DefBot allows users to use special messaging commands with different levels of access, or other special features of the bot, to allow users to access these functions the "DefBot Accounts" need to be setup for the accounts which will be accessing it.
To setup the DefBot accounts you need to open the "DefBot Accounts" window.
There are many options available for each account, we have preset the most used options to already be activated.
The level of access has been split into four panels, you can set whatever options you wish, however we do recommend taking care with some of them.
To start with you will need to setup some accounts for the access option, the usual ones will be "admin" and "guest", if you leave the account blank and click add it will create a "***Default***" account, which will be used for all accounts other than those listed, which is good for a general setup for members etc.
Lets setup the guest account first:
Type "guest" in the text box.
Click the "Add" button.
It has now created a guest account for DefBot access, this will be using the preset options that have been built into the bot.

Well, that is up to you, I recommend that you only use the preset options for the guest account, and use the ones shown in the images for the admin account, with something in between the two for account holders.
One important feature is the "Account Priority".
The priority level is important, if you allow download access without requiring uploads you can tell the bot to use the priority features, which means you can set a higher priority for account holders or admin, so if a guest is downloading (and not uploading) and an account holder wishes to download when there are no more slots left, the user with the lowest priority will be kicked until the account holder (or user with a higher priority) gets a download slot.
NOTE: If a user is uploading the bot will not kick them if the "Higher Priority When Uploading" option is selected.
