# Award Roles {% hint style="info" %} Both kinds of award roles are premium-only. {% endhint %} With award roles, you can have Starboard automatically assign roles based on a members XP (XP Roles) or position on the leaderboard (Pos Roles). You can have both kinds setup at the same time, but a role cannot be both an XPRole and a PosRole. On a side-note, you *can* have a role be a PermRole (see [permroles](https://docs.starboard.best/docs/permroles "mention")) and an award role at the same time. This lets you do things like, only allowing members who have received enough upvotes to upvote others' messages. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
