Using Roles in Your Server

Once you’ve created roles on your Discord server, you can use them to manage your community. Here are some examples of how you can use roles:

• Level 2 Role: Assign a "Manage Channels" permission to an admin role to allow them to manage channels, but not to view them.
• Level 3 Role: Assign a "Manage Members" permission to a moderator role to allow them to manage members, but not to view them.

Best Practices

• Use clear and descriptive role names: This will help users quickly understand the purpose of each role.
• Use a consistent role hierarchy: This will help you and your users quickly understand the relationships between roles.
• Make sure roles are not too powerful: You want users to have a reason to use each role, but not so powerful that they become annoying or unmanageable.

By following these steps and tips, you can create roles on your Discord server that will help you manage your community and assign permissions in a clear and efficient manner. Remember to always use clear and descriptive role names, and to follow best practices to ensure your roles are not too powerful.
