# Automode Tutorial
The Automode plugin was introduced in PyLink 0.9 as a simple mechanism to manage channel access. That said, it is not designed to entirely replace traditional IRC services such as ChanServ.
## Starting steps
Upon loading the `automode` plugin, you should see an Automode service bot connect, using the name that you defined (this guide uses the default, `Automode`). This service provides the commands used to manage access.
For a list of commands:
- `/msg Automode help`
Adding access to a channel:
- `/msg Automode setacc #channel [MASK] [MODE LIST]`
- The mask can be a simple `nick!user@host` hostmask or any of the extended targets (exttargets) mentioned below. MODE LIST is a string of any prefix modes that you want to set (no leading `+` needed): e.g. `qo`, `h`, or `ov`.
Removing access from a channel:
- `/msg Automode delacc #channel [MASK]`
Listing access entries on a channel:
- `/msg Automode listacc #channel`
Applying all access entries on a channel (sync):
- `/msg Automode syncacc #channel`
Clearing all access entries on a channel:
- `/msg Automode clearacc #channel`
## Supported masks and extended targets
Automode supports any hostmask or PyLink extended target; see the [Exttargets Guide](exttargets.md) for more details.
## Permissions
See the [Permissions Reference](permissions-reference.md#automode) for a list of permissions defined by Automode.
## Caveats
- Service bot joining and Relay don't always behave consistently: see https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/265
