Discord Server Permissions and Roles Tutorial | Member, Moderator, Admin Role Setup Guide

This tutorial will show you how to set up Discord server permissions for your members, moderators, admins and boosters. We cover our recommended server and channel permissions for all Discord roles and channel types, keeping the setup as easy as possible.

On Discord there are two types of permissions; role permissions and channel permissions. Role permissions control what a member with that role can do in the server. Whereas channel permissions control what a member can do in that specific channel. There are also category permissions, which are identical to channel permissions and only affect permissions if a channel is synced to the category.

You will want to clear all server permissions for most roles in your server. The only roles that will need server permissions are admin, moderator, bot and friend roles. All other server roles can receive their permissions though the channels and categories.

Primarily using channel or category permissions makes it easier to control what each member can do. This allows you to specifically cater each channel in your server to the desired purpose.

Bots will typically receive their permissions through roles that are automatically created when you ad them to the server. Because of this you won't need to worry about role permissions for a bot role.

This Discord server permission guide also shows you individual settings for each type of channel you will have in your server.

Discord server permissions can be adjusted as you like, giving more freedom or restrictions for members as you like.

[jessenorris]

can you have only one category visible to a role? e.g. I dont wont the members of a set role to see anything out side of the category that contains information relevant to them including general text and voice channels?

[nicoreaz]

bro what have u done to my discord server

[xucaen]

I appreciate the step by step instructions, but after watching this video i don't understand any of it, and feel even more confused than before. To my thinking, channel roles should be automatic. I can't believe it is so much work just to set up one channel. I see servers with dozens of channels, it must have taken a year to set them up.

[CarolinaChris]

First thing I do before watching a video like this is go straight to the comment section to see what people think about this video also I’m on mobile

PS huh 😢

[matthall]

I know this video came out a year ago but I did have a question. If all server role permissions apart from admin+, why do you deny access to the @ everyone role in each channel? The server role permission is already "/". If you apply " / " for the @ everyone's channel permission, it will deny access without requiring "x" which causes some issues with certain bots.

How do you make it so people can’t be used by members?
