How to Give Server Permissions in Discord
Getting Started with Server Permissions
Before we dive into giving server permissions, let’s quickly cover the basics. Server permissions are the levels of access users have to different servers within a Discord server. There are three main types of permissions: Read & View, Send & View, and Manage Members.
Accessing Server Permissions
To access the server permissions menu, go to the server settings in the Discord web client or the server settings screen in the mobile app. Click on the Privileged List tab, which is usually located under the Settings or Settings icon.
Giving Server Permissions
To give a user server permissions, you’ll need to have the Admin Role or Moderator Role. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to give server permissions:
- Admin Role: The Admin Role is the highest level of access you can give to a user. This role has access to all server permissions, including Send & View and Manage Members. To give an admin role to a user, go to the server settings and click on Roles. Add the Admin Role to the user and Edit Role Settings.
- Moderator Role: The Moderator Role has access to Read & View and Send & View permissions. To give a moderator role to a user, go to the server settings and click on Roles. Add the Moderator Role to the user and Edit Role Settings.
- Other Roles: You can also give users other roles, such as Loser Role or Friend Role, which have their own set of permissions.
