Set up roles

Decide who can talk, moderate and read on your server, and promote regulars automatically.

What you start with

Owner

Everything. It can't be edited or given out.

Admin

Everything except roles, server settings and identity replacement.

Moderator

Kick, mute, deafen and pull people out of voice.

Member

Talk, upload, join voice and change their own name.

Guest

Read, and nothing else.

A good setup for a public server

  1. Choose who gets what on joining

    Go to Server settings → Role editor → When somebody joins. Try Member for accounts and Guest for guests. This only affects people who join later.

  2. Add a role for regulars

    Make a new role, and have it give itself out after a number of days and messages. If you fill in both, people need both.

  3. Pick your helpers

    Make a role with the permissions helpers need, and give it out yourself.

Who can act on whom?

Nobody can kick, ban or mute someone of the same or higher rank. Only the owner can act on an admin.
