# Guard Features Configuration

To get access to the global <mark style="color:blue;">**Guard**</mark> features settings, press the `≡ Configure` button on the corresponding feature card on the <mark style="color:$primary;">**Guard**</mark> page:

Actually, the <mark style="color:blue;">**Guard**</mark> features have the same configuration options and, by default, provide checks for all roles (excluding bots and users with Owner and Administrator rights) in all channels. But you can configure each feature separately so that it works only for certain roles and only in certain channels.

For example, the default configuration for the <mark style="color:$success;">Not Matching HyperLinks</mark> feature below denies posting messages with mismatching links in all channels and to all roles but Bots, Server Owners, and Administrators. But if, for some reason, you want to allow posting these kinds of links for some roles or in some channels, you can set it manually:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://guide.bocto.octopeeps.com/plugins/guard/guard-features-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
