Who can do what: the one-page permission map — Discord Bot…
Which Discord permission, bot permission key or anti-nuke grant each kind of action needs, in Discord and on the dashboard.

Step by step
Three different systems decide whether something is allowed. They stack; you rarely need all three.
| System | Decides | Where to change it |
|---|---|---|
Discord permissions | Whether a person may run a command at all (Ban Members for !ban, Manage Server for /flash…). Owner and Administrators can do everything. | Server Settings → Roles |
Bot permission keys | Lets a role use a moderation feature WITHOUT the Discord permission, and decides dashboard access (view vs configure). | !permission grant · Security → Role permissions |
Anti-nuke grants & whitelist | Whether a destructive action performed by that person is tolerated or answered with a ban. Independent of the two above. | !antinuke permrole · !whitelist · Security → Permission grants / Whitelist |
Common tasks
| I want a role to… | Needs |
|---|---|
time out / warn / purge | Moderate Members or Manage Messages, or the keys timeout / warn / purge |
kick and ban | Kick / Ban Members, or the keys kick / ban — AND an anti-nuke grant with kick,ban if strict mode is on |
manage channels or roles | Manage Channels / Roles — AND an anti-nuke grant with the channel* / role* actions if strict mode is on |
read logs on the dashboard | View Audit Log, or logs.view |
change protections on the dashboard | Administrator, or antinuke.configure / antiraid.configure / automod.configure |
route logs to channels | Manage Server, or logs.configure |
restore a backup | Administrator, or backup.restore |
edit the whitelist or grants | Administrator (always, plus whitelist.manage / permissions.manage) |
nuke a channel | Administrator only; no key can grant it |
"Whitelisted" in Sweet means the anti-nuke whitelist. Giving a role the
ban key does not whitelist it; in strict mode that role still needs a permission grant for ban or its first ban gets it banned.Copy and try

!permission grant @Mods ban,kick,timeout,warn,purge,cases
!antinuke permrole role:@Mods actions:ban,kick,timeout,purge limit:5 window:10Good to know
- A permission key never whitelists a role for anti-nuke; the grant does.
- Administrator implies every key but is still subject to anti-nuke unless whitelisted or granted.
