Manager

On by default

Commands for managers: purge messages with filters, add or remove roles for many members at once, create and edit roles, add emoji and make announcements.

On this page
  1. Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.
  2. Find Manager in the module list. It’s already on in new servers.
  3. Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.
  4. Try it in Discord: /addemote. Staff can restrict or turn off each command in Commands.

Tips

  • Mass role changes run in the background. Check them with /role status.
  • Purge only reaches messages from the last 14 days; that limit is Discord’s.
