Permissions

Setting up permissions on your server                                          Embarking on the journey of setting up permissions on your server? You've come to the right place! While this guide gives you an overview of the permissions available, we encourage you to go deeper and explore these features. They're your tools to create a safe and enjoyable environment for your server's community. So, let's take a quick tour of what's possible.

1. Head over to your server's Settings. 

2. Navigate to the Roles section.

You can control the levels of permissions granted to your team members.

Assigning permissions to Roles can create different levels of hierarchy. 

Hierarchy:

As the server owner, you hold all the permissions. The Member role is your starting point, your base role. Any additional roles you create must be added to the category and channel permissions.

There is not an exclusive admin role separate from the server owner. Any roles you create for mods, admins or staff need to be added to Categories, Channels, and Groups. This way, you ensure the correct permissions are in place.

Role settings: 

In the role settings section, you can make decisions about how roles function. Do you want roles to be self-assignable? This would allow members to assign roles to themselves. Do you need all your roles to be mentionable roles? - turning this off means the role can still be mentioned, but no notification will be sent. Lastly, consider if you'd like the role to display separately in your members list. If you do, go ahead and toggle that setting on.

• We provide you with a handy way to enable or disable all permissions associated with a specific role. It's a convenient option when you're looking to make broad changes quickly.

• Each section comes with a handy shortcut for a faster and more efficient way of setting your permissions. By using Ctrl + Click, you can quickly toggle all permissions for that section on or off.

• General Permissions: These are the cornerstones of control in your community. Here, you'll find admin and moderation permissions that enable you to establish who has the ability to manage your server at a high level.

• Recruitment Permissions: Recruitment is key for growing your team. These permissions allow you to control who has access to the incoming applications sent to your team.

• Announcement Permissions: Communicating important news is vital. Decide who has the privilege of crafting and managing these announcements.

• Chat Permissions: The heart of your server's interactions. Adjust these permissions to control how members communicate within chat channels.

• Calendar Permissions: Keep your community's schedule in order. These permissions control who can create, edit, or delete events in your calendar channels.

• Forum Permissions: Set the guidelines for your community's discussions. Decide how members can interact and control forum content.

• Customization Permissions: Everyone likes a bit of personal flair! These permissions allow for emote management and nickname changes.

• Form Permissions: Forms and polls are great for gathering feedback. Control visibility of form or poll results with these permissions.

• List Permissions: Lists help in organizing information. Decide who can create and manage these lists.

• Bracket Permissions: If you're into tournaments, these permissions let you control who can view brackets and report match scores.

• Scheduling Permissions:  These permissions decide who can view, create, and delete schedules.

• Bot Permissions: Bots can automate tasks and add fun elements to your server. These permissions allow members to create or edit bot flows.

• XP Permissions: Gamify your server's experience. These permissions allow you to manually edit XP values, rewarding active members.

• Stream Permissions: Live interactions are exciting. Adjust these permissions to control how members can interact with streams.

Remember, permissions are like the dials and knobs of your server control panel. Feel free to explore them and adjust as needed to make your server a space that fits your community perfectly.

Cloning and deleting roles

Setting up and managing roles in your community can be a time-consuming task, especially when you have multiple roles that require the same permissions

• Clone role: Do you need to create multiple roles with identical permissions but different names? There's no need to manually set up each one. With our 'Clone Role' feature, you can duplicate an existing role and rename the copy, saving you invaluable time and effort. Right-click on any role that you want to duplicate and click Clone.

• Delete role: As your community evolves, some roles may become unnecessary. Whether you're streamlining your server or phasing out a particular role, it's easy to keep your roles list tidy. Just click on the 'Delete Role' button. A prompt will appear asking you to confirm the action, ensuring you don't accidentally remove any roles.

  By leveraging these features, you can ensure that your server's roles are always in line with your community's needs, and that your role management process is as efficient as possible.
