Assigning ranks to roles and membersOriginal image

Step by step

1. 1

   In Permissions, create a rank named after its purpose, such as Support or Moderation.

2. 2

   Select only required permissions. Use search and groups to distinguish viewing, configuration and actions.

3. 3

   In Assignments, attach Discord roles and searched members.

4. 4

   Check whether the rank should be a default: that option applies its permissions to every member.

5. 5

   Save, then enable Spider ranks using an administrator account. Test with a limited staff account.

Permissions are cumulative

Members can receive several ranks through roles and personal assignments. Their permissions accumulate. Owners and administrators retain access; a rank does not remove a native Discord administrator permission.

Discord remains a second check

Actions require the matching Spider permission, required Discord permissions and compatible hierarchy. Some configuration also requires Manage Server. Permission to configure a module does not automatically authorise every moderation action.

Delegating management

Rank management can be delegated under the required permission conditions. A manager cannot grant permissions they do not have or freely edit higher ranks. Enabling the system remains administrator-only.
