Before you start
- You need access to assign roles. See How access works.
- Copy their Discord user ID: in Discord, turn on Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode, then right-click their name and select Copy User ID.
Check what a role allows
- In the sidebar, select System → Access, then the Roles & permissions tab.
- Each row is something a person can do, and each column is a role. A tick means the role allows it.
- To focus on one role, choose it from All roles, or search with Search permissions. Select a role’s name at the top of its column to see its description and everything it allows.
