!level

The !level command allows streamers and moderators to view or manually set the permission level of a specific user within the StreamElements system. User levels determine access to commands and other features.

While levels like subscriber, VIP, and moderator are often assigned automatically based on platform roles, this command allows manual overrides or assigning custom levels like Regular or Super Moderator.

Usage

To check a user’s level:

!level <username>

To set a user’s level:

!level <username> <level_value>

To reset a user’s level to default (based on their platform role):

!level <username> reset

Examples

Checking a level:

Example chat

ModUser:!level RegularViewer

StreamElements:@Moderator, The level of RegularViewer is 100.

Setting a user to Regular:

Example chat

ModUser:!level RegularViewer 300

StreamElements:@Moderator, Successfully set RegularViewer's level to 300 (Regular).

Resetting a user’s level:

Example chat

ModUser:!level RegularViewer reset

StreamElements:@Moderator, Successfully reset RegularViewer's level to 100 (Everyone).

Parameters

• <username> (Required): The exact username of the target user.
• <level_value> or reset (Optional):
  • Provide a numeric level value to manually set the user’s level.
  • Use the keyword reset to remove any manual override and revert to the level determined by their platform role (or default 100 if none).

User Level Values

StreamElements uses the following numeric values for permission levels:

• 100: Everyone (Default for non-sub/VIP/mod users)
• 250: Subscriber
• 300: Regular (Manually assigned via Dashboard or !level)
• 400: VIP (Twitch only)
• 500: Moderator
• 1000: Super Moderator (Manually assigned via Dashboard or !level)

These six values are the only ones the bot accepts — commands like !level and !command options -level reject anything else.

Note

The dashboard’s custom-command User level dropdown additionally offers Broadcaster, a level above Super Moderator. It can only be assigned from the dashboard, not from chat.

Note

Manually setting a level (e.g., setting a non-sub to 250) grants them the permissions of that level within StreamElements (e.g., access to sub-only commands) but does not grant them platform-specific benefits like sub badges or emotes.

Configuration

• The command’s permission level can be adjusted under Chatbot -> Chat Commands -> Default Commands.
• User levels are fundamental to command permissions configured in the Chat Commands section of the Dashboard.

Related Commands

• !permit: Temporarily grants link permission to a user, often used for users below a certain level.
