Permission reference
Use Clan Labs permission levels and per-action requirements to give staff the access they need.
Last updatedClan Labs permissions control actions inside one community. They are separate from Discord’s native server permissions and Roblox group roles, although an action may require all three systems to allow it.
Permission levels
Clan Labs uses an inherited hierarchy, from highest to lowest:
- Super Owner — the Discord server owner. This level is determined from Discord ownership.
- Owner
- HICOM
- Supervisor
- Officer
- Member
A requirement includes the levels above it. For example, an action set to Officer can also be performed by Supervisor, HICOM, Owner, and Super Owner.
Default action requirements
Community owners can customise action requirements. These are the defaults:
| Action | Default minimum |
|---|---|
| View audit logs, warnings, or blacklists | Member |
| Update your own Discord profile | Member |
| Warn a member | Officer |
| Review application responses | Officer |
| Manage application forms | Owner |
| Add or remove experience | Officer |
| Award or remove a medal for selected members | Officer |
| Host an event or post a Roblox community shout | Officer |
| Promote, demote, or set the rank of a regular member | Officer |
| Create, update, or remove a blacklist entry | HICOM |
| Add or remove quota points | HICOM |
| Change qualifications or suspensions | HICOM |
| Review and decide pending joins | HICOM |
| Update another member or a selected list of members | HICOM |
| Change the rank of an officer-level target | HICOM |
| Set an exact experience or quota total | Owner |
| Award or remove a medal for every member | Owner |
| Open analytics or community settings | Owner |
/update everyone requires Super Owner. Owners cannot lower safeguards that are tied directly to Discord server ownership.
Application form management and response review are independent permissions. Staff cannot review their own submissions. Deleting selected responses or clearing all responses requires both permissions. See Applications.
Settings, Roblox connections, Discord server transfers, community exports, reset or deletion, and audit rollback have additional owner safeguards. Clan Labs reserves the most sensitive of these for the Discord server owner even if a custom action requirement is lower.
For staff assignments and saving changes, use Configure staff permissions.
Discord command visibility
Discord command visibility is separate from the configured action requirement. A member might be able to select /pendingjoin at its Officer base requirement but still need HICOM to review requests. Context-menu and subcommand checks continue to run inside Clan Labs.
For pending sync or an assignment that failed to save, follow command synchronization.
Why an action can still fail
Passing the Clan Labs permission check is only one condition. Discord role hierarchy, missing bot permissions, Roblox Open Cloud, feature entitlement, trial restrictions, subscription state, target rank, or an active moderation restriction can still stop the action.
If Discord reports Warning - Insufficient Permission, it can also state the required level, such as You must be HICOM+. Ask an Owner to review the one action requirement; do not request blanket Owner access by default.
