# Administration

> The /sync command — owner-only slash command registration.

1 command, sourced directly from `AdministrationCog` (`src/cogs/administration.py`).

<Info>
  **Permission** is the check News Bot enforces when the command actually runs — see
  [Installation & Permissions](/news/installation-permissions) for how Bot Owner resolves.

    ```
    /sync
    ```

    Registers the bot's current slash commands with Discord globally. News Bot never syncs
    automatically on startup or reconnect — registration is a deliberate, manual, auditable
    action, kept separate from ordinary restarts so routine deploys don't trigger Discord's
    global command-sync rate limit.

    <Warning>
      A global sync can take up to an hour to propagate to every server — that delay is a
      Discord-side limitation, not something this command controls.
    </Warning>
