# `openclaw pairing`
|
|
|
|
Approve or inspect DM pairing requests for channels that support pairing (chat DMs only - node/device pairing uses `openclaw devices`).
|

## Commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw pairing list telegram
|
|
openclaw pairing list --channel telegram --account work
|
|
openclaw pairing list telegram --json
|
|
|
|
openclaw pairing approve <code>
|
|
openclaw pairing approve telegram <code>
|
|
openclaw pairing approve --channel telegram --account work <code> --notify
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## `pairing list`
|
|
|
|
List pending pairing requests for one channel.
|
|
|
|
| Option | Description |
|
|
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `[channel]` | positional channel id |
|
|
| `--channel <channel>` | explicit channel id |
|
|
| `--account <accountId>` | account id for multi-account channels |
|
|
| `--json` | machine-readable output |
|
|
|
|
If multiple pairing-capable channels are configured, pass a channel positionally or with `--channel`. Extension channels work as long as the channel id is valid.
|
|
|
|
## `pairing approve`
|
|
|
|
Approve a pending pairing code and allow that sender.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
- `openclaw pairing approve <channel> <code>`
|
|
- `openclaw pairing approve --channel <channel> <code>`
|
|
- `openclaw pairing approve <code>` when exactly one pairing-capable channel is configured
|
|
|
|
Options: `--channel <channel>`, `--account <accountId>`, `--notify` (send a confirmation back to the requester on the same channel).
|
|
|
|
### Owner bootstrap
|
|
|
|
If `commands.ownerAllowFrom` is empty when you approve a pairing code, OpenClaw also records the approved sender as the command owner, using a channel-scoped entry such as `telegram:123456789`. This only bootstraps the first owner - later pairing approvals never replace or expand `commands.ownerAllowFrom`.
|
|
|
|
The command owner is the human operator account allowed to run owner-only commands and approve dangerous actions such as `/diagnostics`, `/export-trajectory`, `/config`, and exec approvals. Pairing only lets a sender talk to the agent; it does not by itself grant owner privileges beyond this one-time bootstrap.
|
|
|
|
If you approved a sender before this bootstrap existed, run `openclaw doctor`; it warns when no command owner is configured and shows the exact `openclaw config set commands.ownerAllowFrom ...` command to fix it.
