Permissions & Tiers

Every member of a server has a tier that determines what they can do. Tiers are fixed — there are four of them, from least to most privileged.

Tiers

Tier	Description
Member	Default tier. Can read and send messages in accessible channels.
Moderator	Can manage messages and kick members.
Admin	Full management access, except deleting the server or transferring ownership.
Owner	Full control. Only one owner per server.

Changing a Member's Tier

You need to be at least Admin to change tiers, and you can only assign tiers below your own:

• Owner can assign: Admin, Moderator, Member
• Admin can assign: Moderator, Member
• Moderator / Member cannot change tiers

To change a member's tier:

1. Open the member list on the right.
2. Right-click the member → Change Tier.
3. Select the new tier.

TIP

Owner tier cannot be assigned directly. Use Server Settings → Transfer Ownership to hand ownership to another member.

Channel Access Modes

Channels have an access mode that controls who can read and write in them, independently of tiers. Moderators and above always bypass these restrictions.

Mode	Who can read	Who can write
Open	All members	All members
Read-only	All members	Nobody (Moderator+ can still write)
Private	Allowed users / labels only	Allowed users / labels only
Restricted write	All members	Allowed users / labels only

For private and restricted write channels, you can whitelist specific members or entire labels. This lets you create staff-only channels, announcement channels, or role-restricted areas without needing separate servers.

Server admins configure access modes in Server Settings → Channels.
