Requirements
Before starting, make sure you have:
Administratoraccess on the Discord server- Permission to create roles and channels
- A final staff list for owner, admin, and moderator teams
Setup Steps
1. Create Core Channels
Create these Discord channels before connecting or configuring major Helios systems.
| Channel | Purpose | Who Can See It |
|---|---|---|
#helios-cmd | Admin and owner command execution | Owner + Admin only |
#raid-alerts | Critical alerts, raid pings, and failures | Owner + Admin + Moderator |
#killfeed | Kill feed output | Community or staff — your call |
#player-feed | Join and leave events | Moderator + Admin |
#admin-feed | Tracks mod, admin, and owner actions | Owner + Admin only |
Never run setup commands in a public channel. Setup can expose important server information.
2. Create Staff Roles
Set up your main staff roles before giving anyone Helios access.
| Role | Discord Permission Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Administrator | Keep membership very small |
| Admin | Manage Server | Daily management and module setup |
| Moderator | Read-heavy command scope | No billing or wipe control |
3. Set Up the Link Role
Use /set link-role to assign the default Discord role players receive when they use /link.
You can also optionally set Xbox and PlayStation roles to be given when players link.

4. Set Notification Channels
Set up your main Discord feed channels with these commands:
/dcfeed add
/dcplayerfeed add
/set raid-channel
/adminfeed add
Discord Kill Feeds
Use /dcfeed add to choose the channel where killfeed messages should be sent.
- Select the Discord channel for killfeeds
- Optionally choose a specific server
- If no server is selected, all connected servers can send killfeeds to that channel

Player Join / Leave Feeds
Use /dcplayerfeed add to choose where player join and leave messages should be sent.
- Select the Discord channel for player activity
- Optionally choose a specific server

Raid Alerts
Use /set raid-channel to choose the Discord channel where raid alert messages should be sent.

Players can then use /raid link to connect themselves to raid alerts.
Players can also turn on Direct Message alerts for raid notifications.
Admin Feeds
Use /adminfeed add to choose the channel where admin feed logs should be sent.
Admin feeds show important staff and command activity, including:
- In-game gives from Moderators, Admins, and Owners
- Staff actions based on auth level in game
- Kit gives
- Kit Manager gives
- Gives done through Helios

Example
A good first-time setup would look like this:
The owner creates #helios-cmd, restricts it to Owner + Admin, grants Manage Server to the Admin role, and keeps Administrator locked to owners only.
After that, the owner creates the feed channels and configures Helios output before connecting major systems.
