#killfeed | Public or staff kill feed output | Community or staff based on policy |
#player-feed | Join and leave events | Moderator + Admin |
#helios-audit | Manual notes for wipes and destructive actions | Owner + Admin only |
2. Create Staff Roles
| Role | Permission Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Administrator | Keep membership small |
| Admin | Manage Server | Daily operations and module setup |
| Moderator | Read-heavy command scope | No billing or wipe control |
3. Configure Link Roles

4. Set Notification Channels
Configure feed targets with /dcfeed add, /dcplayerfeed add, and /set raid-channel.
Commands or Controls
/set link-role
/dcfeed add
/dcplayerfeed add

Example Use Case
Owner creates #helios-ops, grants Manage Server to admins only, and keeps Administrator restricted to owners before any server connection is attempted.
Common Issues
- Too many members hold
Administrator. - Feed channels are created but Helios cannot send embeds.
- No dedicated audit channel for wipe and premium actions.
Tips / Best Practices

- Keep all premium and wipe actions in a dedicated owner approval process.
- Document your final channel and role IDs in an internal runbook.
