Security Setup

Fake Permissions

Grant bot command permissions without giving actual Discord permissions.

What is Fake Permissions?

Fake Permissions allows you to grant users access to moderation commands without giving them actual Discord permissions. This is useful for creating moderator roles that can use bot commands but can't abuse Discord's built-in features.

This is especially important now that Discord has a mass ban feature. Use fake permissions to let moderators ban through the bot instead of Discord's interface.

First, create a role for your moderators without any actual Discord permissions, then grant them fake permissions.
