Owner Setup

Required channels, roles, and checklists before enabling Helios modules.

Overview

Owner setup defines who can run Helios commands and where bot output should be posted.

Who This Is For

  • Server owners
  • Head admins implementing owner policy

Requirements

  • Administrator access for owner account
  • Ability to create roles and channels
  • Final staff list for owner, admin, and moderator teams

Setup

1. Create Core Channels

ChannelPurposeRecommended Visibility
#helios-opsAdmin and owner command executionOwner + Admin only
#helios-alertsCritical alerts, raid pings, failuresOwner + Admin + Moderator
#killfeedPublic or staff kill feed outputCommunity or staff based on policy
#player-feedJoin and leave eventsModerator + Admin
#helios-auditManual notes for wipes and destructive actionsOwner + Admin only

2. Create Staff Roles

RolePermission TargetNotes
OwnerAdministratorKeep membership small
AdminManage ServerDaily operations and module setup
ModeratorRead-heavy command scopeNo billing or wipe control

3. Configure Link Roles

Use /set link-role to assign the default role granted on /link.

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
/set raid-channel

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

  • Review role membership every wipe cycle.
  • Keep all premium and wipe actions in a dedicated owner approval process.
  • Document your final channel and role IDs in an internal runbook.

First-Time Setup Checklist

  • Owner/admin/mod roles created
  • #helios-ops created and locked down
  • Feed channels created with send/embed permissions
  • Link role configured
  • Raid alert channel configured
