With Administrator Permissions: Grants full functionality, including channel locks.
Without Administrator Permissions: Requires additional setup; some features may be limited.
Note: Without administrator permissions, the channel locks feature will not function, and additional configuration will be necessary.
2. Setup the SecurityBot Role
Navigate to Server Settings → Roles and move the SecurityBot role to the top of the list.
Why? Discord's role hierarchy determines permission levels. Placing SecurityBot at the top ensures it can effectively manage members and enforce protections.
3. Grant Access to Private Channels
If your server has any private channels, you must make sure to add the SecurityBot role to all of them.
Note: If SecurityBot has administrator permissions, this step can be skipped.
Why? Without access, SecurityBot cannot monitor or act within these channels, leaving potential vulnerabilities.
4. Run the SecurityBot Setup Wizard
Use the /setup command in any channel where SecurityBot is present to launch the interactive setup wizard.
This step-by-step tool will guide you through essential configuration tasks, including:
Verifying the bot’s permissions and role placement
Setting your moderator and admin roles
Enabling and adjusting core SecurityBot features
Once initiated, the setup wizard will send a private message (visible only to you) with clear instructions and helpful links to relevant documentation.
Tip: Run this command after completing Steps 1–3 to confirm your server is ready for full protection.
5. Configure SecurityBot Logs
Create or designate a channel for SecurityBot to post activity logs.
To set the log channel, use the command:
