How to Enhance Your Discord Server

Discord servers are a very convenient way to communicate, but when a server gets bigger, you cannot allow each user to have the same permissions and privileges. In this tutorial, you will learn how to add roles to server members in Discord. We hope you will benefit from this guide.

Why Use Discord Roles?

If you create a server or intend to build a community in the future, you need to understand the benefits this feature provides. Roles are in charge of control of which channel members can exchange messages. Users will appear differently in the member list. Thus, you can assign roles and add moderators to the server.

Discord roles can help protect your server from unwanted interference. Therefore, only the members you trust can make changes to it, and new members' permissions will be limited until they agree to follow the server rules.

You can lock channels for specific interest groups, demographics, supporter levels, and much more. For example, if you want to make space for the small team to discuss private topics, you can create a channel that only those with the same role can access. Thanks to this, a select group can carry on conversations hidden from other members of the server.

Let's take a closer look at how to add roles on your smartphone and PC.

How Does It Work?

Making and assigning roles in Discord is an easy task. You can either create any roles in server settings or set group settings. The roles are arranged in the hierarchical order, that is, from the highest level to the lowest one. This level defines the primary role for a given member, which, in turn, sets their name's color and title on your server. It is also worth noting that each member can have more than one role.

After that, you can assign them to the server members as you wish. This feature is available to use from any platform. Follow the detailed guide below to learn how to make roles on Discord from PC. 

How to Make Roles in Discord? 

First of all, before creating a role, you need to log in to your account if you didn't. After that, you will see all servers where you have access. You need to choose the desired one on the panel from the left side. Make sure that you have permission to make roles on the server. After that, you need to: 

1. Being inside the server, click the down arrow next to the server name and select Server Settings. 
2. Click on Roles from several options.
3. Select "Create Role." 
4. Fill out the information for your new role. Choose the role name, color, permissions, and select which members will have the role.
5. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of your screen to save your new role.

How to Edit Discord Roles?

Moving forward, to edit the created role according to your choice and set permissions for it, you should select a new role. On its right side, you can give it the desired name. Then you can choose the color for that particular role, which will be very helpful for group members to identify their assigned roles to each other.

Now, you can select the permissions and privileges which you want to assign to the roles. Select everything that a person with the assigned role is allowed to do based on your options.

Afterward, you will need to save the changes made for your chosen role. Click 'Save Changes' so that your roles will be assigned to group members.

To remove it, open the specific role and scroll down to the bottom of its settings. Choose the 'Delete' option to remove the @role name.
