# increaseFlowRateAllowanceWithPermissions

increaseFlowRateAllowanceWithPermissions

#### Function Header

```solidity
/**
     * @dev msgSender from `ctx` increases flow rate allowance for the `flowOperator` by `addedFlowRateAllowance`
     * @dev if `addedFlowRateAllowance` is negative, we revert with CFA_ACL_NO_NEGATIVE_ALLOWANCE
     * @param token Super token address
     * @param flowOperator The permission grantee address
     * @param permissionsToAdd A bitmask representation of the granted permissions to add as a delta
     * @param addedFlowRateAllowance The flow rate allowance delta
     * @param ctx Context bytes (see ISuperfluid.sol for Context struct)
     * @return newCtx The new context bytes
*/
function increaseFlowRateAllowanceWithPermissions(
    ISuperfluidToken token,
    address flowOperator,
    uint8 permissionsToAdd,
    int96 addedFlowRateAllowance
) internal returns (bool)
```

#### permissionsToAdd

Using `increaseFlowRateAllowanceWithPermissions` requires understanding the `permissionsToAdd` parameter. 

ACL Permission are designated with the [ACL permissions bitmask](/superfluid/developers/constant-flow-agreement-cfa/cfa-access-control-list-acl.md#permissions-parameter). Basically, the permissions level you provide in `permissionsToAdd` is appended to the existing permissions as though you are saying this account now has its **existing permissions&#x20;**<mark style="color:green;">**OR**</mark>**&#x20;the new permissions defined by `permissionsToAdd`**. See the example below.

#### Example Usage

<pre><code>// Alice currently has permissions of 3 (Create or Update)
// We want to give her the ability to Delete as well and
// increasing her flow rate allowance by 100 wei/sec
<strong>
</strong><strong>someSuperToken.increaseFlowRateAllowanceWithPermissions(
</strong>    alice,
    4,        // Delete is represented by 4 on the ACL bitmask
    100
)

// Now Alice has 100 more wei/sec by which she can increase the senders stream
// and now has permissions to Create or Update OR Delete streams for the senders.
// That effectively gives Alice permissions of 7 (Create, Update, or Delete).
</code></pre>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://superfluid.gitbook.io/superfluid/developers/constant-flow-agreement-cfa/cfa-access-control-list-acl/solidity/increaseflowrateallowancewithpermissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
