Permissions & Roles

Permission model for owner, admin, and moderator command boundaries.

Overview

Most Helios admin commands require Manage Server. Premium and destructive workflows should be restricted to Administrator owners.

Who This Is For

  • Owners defining policy
  • Admins implementing command access

Requirements

  • Ability to edit Discord role permissions
  • Clear owner policy for premium and wipe actions

Setup

  1. Assign Administrator only to owner-level roles.
  2. Assign Manage Server to trusted admins.
  3. Keep moderators on read-heavy and support-focused commands.
  4. Validate with test accounts before launch.

Commands or Controls

/server list
/settings server
/premium status
/wipe bags

Example Use Case

Owner keeps /premium and /wipe workflows restricted to two trusted accounts while admins run day-to-day operations.

Common Issues

  • Moderators receive Administrator unintentionally.
  • Admins lose Manage Server and cannot configure feeds or settings.
  • Staff policy exists but does not match real role permissions.

Tips / Best Practices

  • Audit role permissions every wipe cycle.
  • Keep a test account for permission validation.
  • Log all destructive actions in #helios-audit.
