You can configure Discord roles to be granted to users based on their points balance.
This is the main way to turn balances into visible ranks, access tiers, or progression roles.

<Tip>
  Configured roles use point-based [gating rules](/gating/introduction) under the hood.
</Tip>

## Set up a new rule

1. Open your point system and go to the **Roles** tab.
2. Click **Add new gating rule**.
3. Choose the Discord role you want to grant.
4. Select the point system the rule should check.
5. Set the minimum balance required.
6. Optionally set a maximum balance if the role should only apply to a specific range.
7. Save the rule.

Now, the role will be granted automatically when a user's balance changes and meets the configured criteria, and
revoked if they fall below the minimum required balance.

<Tip>
  Role updates happen automatically whenever user balance changes. Members do not need to press any buttons
  or verify manually for point-based role updates.
