Mod Role & Permissions
How Permissions Work
Chat Rewards has two permission tiers:
- Manage Server — Standard Discord permission. Anyone with this can use all Chat Rewards management commands that support it.
- Mod Role — A role you assign via
/mod-role. Members with this role can use the same commands as someone withManage Server, without actually having that Discord permission.
Some sensitive commands require Administrator regardless of the Mod Role:
/mod-role(setting/changing the mod role itself)/credits purge(irreversibly deletes all credits)/whitelabel(bot branding customization)
The server owner always has full access.
Setting the Mod Role
/mod-role @role
This requires the Administrator permission.
Examples:
/mod-role @Moderators — grants the @Moderators role full Chat Rewards management access
/mod-role — leave blank to remove the Mod Role
Only one role can be set at a time. Setting a new role replaces the previous one. Clearing the mod role means only users with Manage Server or Administrator can manage Chat Rewards.
Why Use a Mod Role?
It lets trusted staff manage Chat Rewards without giving them full Manage Server permission. Useful if you have moderators who need to manage shop items, give/remove credits, or spawn rewards — but you don't want to grant them broad server permissions.
You can view which commands support the Mod Role at chatrewards.xyz/commands — click any command to see its "Permissions" section.
Changes to the Mod Role are recorded in your configured logging channel.
