Server Roles

The roles PariahBot's features depend on, set with /setup. Set these first. Several features won't work without them.

Role	How many	What it's for
Admin roles	Any number	Who counts as an admin, besides Administrators
Mod roles	Any number	Who counts as a mod: staff below admin
Member role	One	What Verification grants, and who can see Role-Menus channels
Streamer role	One	Who can link their own channel for Streamer-Alerts

All /setup commands are admin-only.

Staff levels

Level	Who
Admin	Discord's Administrator permission, or an admin role (/setup admin-role add)
Mod	A mod role (/setup mod-role add), or any admin
User	Everyone else

Admins can	Mods can
Everything mods can, plus: /setup (roles, including these), /security (verification and honeypot), the Admin-Dashboard, /mod config and /mod remove-case, and /bannedwords on/off and lists	Every other staff command: moderation (/mod warn, kick, ban, timeout, history, and right-click actions), /alerts, /autodelete, /voice, /roles, /streamers, /instagram, /rss, /giveaway, and custom banned words

The split keeps server setup, and the power to erase records of what staff did, with admins. Day-to-day moderation is for mods.

Admins and mods are both staff: the bot never acts against either. The Honeypot skips them, and /mod can't target them.

Upgrading from before admin roles existed? Mod roles used to count as admin. They're now mods only, so until you add an admin role, only members with Administrator can use /setup, /security and the dashboard.

Admin roles

/setup admin-role add role:@Admins
/setup admin-role remove role:@Admins
/setup admin-role list
/setup admin-role clear

Discord's Administrator permission always counts as admin, with or without an admin role.

Mod roles

/setup mod-role add role:@Moderators
/setup mod-role add name:Helpers color:Green
/setup mod-role remove role:@Helpers
/setup mod-role list
/setup mod-role clear

Members holding any mod role:

• can use every staff command marked (Mod), but not the (Admin) ones
• are never removed by the Honeypot
• can force-claim a temp voice channel with /vc claim, and can't have theirs claimed (see Temp-Voice-Channels)
• can still see the screening channel when Verification hides it

Manage Channels alone doesn't make someone a mod or an admin.

Member role

/setup member-role role:@Members

• Verification grants it when someone passes, and refuses to run until it's set.
• /roles apply-channel-defaults uses it to decide who can see a role-menu channel. Without one, everyone can.

---

Streamer role

/setup streamer-role role:@Streamer

Members with it can link their own Twitch or YouTube channel with /streamers link. Their alerts stop if they lose the role. Mods and admins can add channels without it. See Streamer-Alerts.

Options

member-role, streamer-role, admin-role add and mod-role add all work the same way. Give exactly one of:

Option	Effect
role	Use an existing role
name, plus optional color	Create a new role with that name. color is a hex code (#3498db) or a Discord colour name (Red, DarkBlue, Blurple)
clear: true	Unset it (member-role and streamer-role only)

Creating a role needs the bot to have Manage Roles. Choosing an existing one doesn't. See Permissions.
