All permissions

Every permission in Root, organized by category.

Permissions marked Administrative (✓) are powerful: they let members change community settings, manage other members, delete others' content, or control voice channels. Grant them only to people you trust.

caution

Be careful when granting administrative permissions. Members with these permissions can significantly impact your community.

Some permissions turn on others automatically. For example, turning on Manage Bans also turns on Create Bans. The role editor shows this as Auto-enabled by Manage Bans, and you can't turn the other permission off on its own.

Community

These permissions control community-wide administrative actions.

Permission	Description	Administrative
Community Full Control	Grants every permission and overrules channel and channel group permission settings. Deleting the community, transferring ownership, age restriction, and Discovery stay with the owner.	✓
Manage Community	Edit the community's profile (name, picture, color, banner, description, and category), engagement settings (system messages channel and default notifications), and protection settings (verified member access and join throttle). View the community's cores.	✓
View Action Log	View a record of logged member actions.	✓
Manage Apps	Create, update, and delete apps. View the community's cores information.	✓
Manage Emojis	Add, edit, and remove the community's custom emojis. You can set this permission on a role from desktop only.	✓

Members

These permissions control member management and invitations.

Permission	Description	Administrative
Invite Users	Allows members to invite new users to the community.
Manage Roles	Create, update, delete, and assign roles.	✓
Kick Member	Remove members from the community.	✓
Create Bans	Ban members from the community for a set or infinite amount of time.	✓
Manage Bans	Ban and unban community members. View and edit current bans.	✓
Manage Invites	View, create, and revoke community invitations. Claim and manage the community's vanity invite link.	✓

Manage Roles can't grant more than you have

Manage Roles only works within the permissions you already hold. When you create or edit a role, any permission you don't have yourself is grayed out, and you can only assign a role if you already have every permission it grants. So a member with Manage Roles but not Community Full Control can't grant the Admin role, or hand out any permission they don't have, to anyone (including themselves).

Becoming the community owner is separate: it isn't a role, and it only moves through Transfer ownership.
