| # Configure who can add bots
 | |
| 
 | |
| {!admin-only.md!}
 | |
| 
 | |
| Zulip lets you create three types of [bots](/help/bots-overview):
 | |
| 
 | |
| - **Incoming webhook bots**, which are limited to only sending messages into Zulip.
 | |
| - **Generic bots**, which act like a normal user account.
 | |
| - **Outgoing webhook bots**, which are generic bots that also receive
 | |
|   new messages via HTTPS POST requests.
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can configure who can create incoming webhook bots (which are more limited
 | |
| in what they can do), and who can create any bot. Both permissions can be
 | |
| assigned to any combination of [roles](/help/user-roles), [groups](/help/user-groups), and
 | |
| individual [users](/help/introduction-to-users).
 | |
| 
 | |
| !!! warn ""
 | |
| 
 | |
|     These settings only affect new bots. Existing bots will not be
 | |
|     deactivated.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Configure who can create bots that can only send messages (incoming webhook bots)
 | |
| 
 | |
| {start_tabs}
 | |
| 
 | |
| {settings_tab|organization-permissions}
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. Under **Other permissions**, configure **Who can create bots that send messages into Zulip**.
 | |
| 
 | |
| {!save-changes.md!}
 | |
| 
 | |
| {end_tabs}
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Configure who can create any type of bot
 | |
| 
 | |
| {start_tabs}
 | |
| 
 | |
| {settings_tab|organization-permissions}
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. Under **Other permissions**, configure **Who can create any bot**.
