I recommend that before you jump into this article please read over our Roles & Permissions and Channels & Categories articles. In this article, I will try to a ddress this lack of knowledge by going over these permission levels, the differences between Server Settings and Channel Settings, and how to properly set up an example “Mute” role.ĭisclaimer: The contents of this article is based off the PC/Mac version, but the basics on setting up permissions and what permission levels apply to all versions of Discord. However, there is a lack of information on the different levels of permissions, and what takes priority when determining what a user can and cannot do. When initially creating roles and channels, setting up permissions feels quite simple at first, and this isn’t far from the truth. One of the most daunting tasks as a new community builder on Discord is learning how the permission system really works.
