# /unlock

**Command**

```
/unlock
```

Typing the `/unlock` command will unlock the room allowing any users not already in the room to join.

When a room owner has successfully unlocked the room they will receive a message like below:

The room can be locked with the `/lock` command.

**Required Permissions**

In the event that PartyBeast does not have the correct permissions to make the changes required to kick a user or change the permissions to ban a user you will receive the following error message:

![](https://2037455694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MK5-dtBrsWXcOXZzLr5%2Fuploads%2FxU4DIPJk4JqiySzmeEzB%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=e6740357-51f1-42f2-9347-0bc123ddbcae)

In this case you should check that the PartyBeast **role** has the following permissions available on the **category** where new channels are created.\
Be aware that this should apply to any roles which you have assigned PartyBeast:

* View Channel
* Manage Channel
* Manage Permissions
* Connect
* Manage Members
