Commands: Permission management

By default, only the bot's owners can use it.

4 min read Updated October 13, 2026

By default, only the bot's owners can use it. To hand it over to your team, give permission levels to roles:

+set perm 1 @Moderator gives Perm 1 to a role: deleting messages, warn, mute. Perm 2 adds kick, ban and locking channels, Perm 3 the full management of the server.
Each level also holds the commands of the levels below it. +helpall lists the commands by level, +perms the roles that have permissions.
+set perm ban @member gives a single command to a member or a role.
+del perm 1 @Moderator removes a permission, +clear perms removes them all.

Sanctioning a team member
Sanctions (ban, kick, mute, warn, derank, blacklist) only reach a member of a lower level than yours, or of the same level if they don't have access to the command themselves. So two Perm 2 members can't ban each other, since both have the ban; but a Perm 1 given the ban as well (+set perm ban @member) can ban another Perm 1.

In some channels only
Add the channels at the end: +set perm ban @member #channel gives the ban in #channel only, and +del perm is written the same way. The channel must be mentioned: running the command in a channel doesn't restrict the permission to it.

Members without a permission
They can only use a few commands, like +snipe. With +public on, they also get the public commands (+help, +pic, +calc…), and +public deny #channel turns them off in one channel.
+blbot add @member forbids every bot command to a member.

Changing the commands' levels
+change ban 3 moves the ban to Perm 3, +change ban 7 creates a level 7 (up to 9) holding the ban. +changeall 3 4 moves every Perm 3 command to Perm 4, +change reset puts everything back to default. These settings apply to every server of the bot and are kept for its buyer.

The step-by-step guide

The bot's permissions walks you through it.

`+public`

+public <on/off>: Turns on/off public commands
+public <allow/deny/reset> [channel]: Turns off or on public commands in a specific channel (reset synchronised the channel with global public settings)

Without a bot permission, a member only gets the "everyone" commands (like +snipe). on also opens the public commands to them (+help, +pic, +calc, +wiki…); off by default. deny turns them off in one channel, allow opens them there even when it is off, reset makes it follow the server setting.
Examples: +public on, +public deny #general

Default level: Perm 3

`+perms`

+perms: Shows roles and users with permissions on the bot, including channel-restricted ones

The list gives each role or member with its level or its commands, and the channels a permission is limited to.

Default level: Perm 2 · Other names: +permissions, +permission, +perm

`+set perm`

+set perm <permission/command> <role/member> [channel]: Grants access to a permission level to a role or a member, optionally only in given channels

Give a level (1 to 9) or a command's name, then a role or a member. Each level holds the commands of the levels below it; +helpall lists them. Add channels at the end to limit the permission to those channels: they must be mentioned, typing the command in a channel isn't enough.
Examples: +set perm 1 @Moderator, +set perm ban @member, +set perm 2 @Helper #support

Default level: Owners

`+del perm`

+del perm <permission/command> <role/member> [channel]: Removes a permission from roles or members, server-wide or in given channels

The command is written like +set perm; with channels at the end, only the permission limited to those channels is removed.
Examples: +del perm 1 @Moderator, +del perm 2 @Helper #support

Default level: Owners

`+clear perms`

+clear perms: Removes all bot permissions from all roles

Every role and member of this server loses its permissions on the bot; only the owners keep control.

Default level: Owners · Other names: +clear perm

`+blbot`

+blbot: Shows all member forbidden from using the bot
+blbot <add/del> <member>: Adds or removes a member that is completely forbidden from using the bot
+blbot clear: Clears all members in the blacklist bot

The member can no longer use any of the bot's commands on this server, whatever their permissions. The owners can't be added, and adding a member takes a level strictly higher than theirs, or the same level if they can't use +blbot themselves.
Examples: +blbot add @member, +blbot del @member, +blbot clear

Default level: Owners

`+change`

+change <command> <permission>: Changes the permission level needed to run a specific command

The level is a digit from 1 to 9, or a word: public, everyone, owner, buyer, or off to turn the command off. The change applies to every server of the bot; it is kept for the buyer.
Examples: +change ban 3, +change snipe public, +change say owner

Default level: Buyer

`+changeall`

+changeall <permission> <permission>: Transfers all commands from one permission level to another

It works like +change, but on every server of the bot; kept for the buyer.
Example: +changeall 3 4

Default level: Buyer

`+change reset`

+change reset: Resets permission levels for all commands

Undoes every +change and +changeall, on every server of the bot.

Default level: Buyer

The levels and names shown are the original ones: your server may have changed them (permissions, +alias). Every Gestion V2 command
