Autoroles

Off by default

Give roles automatically when members join, right away or after a delay, and offer joinable ranks members can add themselves with `/rank`.

On this page

Set it upLink to this section

  1. Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.
  2. Find Autoroles in the module list (press / to filter it, or ⌘K and type its name) and turn it on.
  3. Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.
  4. Try it in Discord: /addrank. Staff can restrict or turn off each command in Commands.

Tips

  • A delayed role is a simple way to keep brand-new accounts out of busy channels.
  • Added an autorole after people joined? Autoroles → Sync to existing members gives everyone who misses it the role, in the background.
  • Pre-assigned roles wait for one person by user ID: a returning moderator gets their roles the moment they rejoin.

Sync to existing members

Give members who joined earlier the autoroles they miss.
