Server Permissions

This section of the document describes the Discord server permissions needed in order for Bernard to work as expected.

Permission Name	Purpose
View Audit Log	Not presently used in the current implementation, but could be used as part of future features.
Manage Server	Delete server invites when accounts leave the server.
Manage Roles	Used for the !silence and !unsilence commands to add and remove the role defined by the !role silence command so that targeted users cannot send messages, add reactions, or speak/stream in voice channels.
Manage Channels	Create new channels when Bernard initially joins the server. Important events (such as when members are kicked/banned, etc.) relevant to moderating the server are routed to these channels. Also used for the !lock and !unlock commands.
Kick Members	Kick members from the server, either as a result of a violation in Bernard's AutoMod pipeline or as a result of a !kick command from an administrator.
Ban Members	Ban members from the server, either as a result of a violation in Bernard's AutoMod pipeline or as a result of a !ban command from an administrator.
Change Nickname	Not presently used in the current implementation, but could be used as part of future features.
Manage Nicknames	Not presently used in the current implementation, but could be used as part of future features.
View Channels	Used to monitor messages sent to text channels.
Send Messages	Send messages to text channels, primarily to respond to commands and report important events in notification channels (such as when members are kicked/banned, etc.)
Manage Messages	Delete messages that are detected as a violation of the AutoMod pipeline.
Embed Links	Not presently used in the current implementation, but could be used as part of future features.
Attach Files	Not presently used in the current implementation, but could be used as part of future features.
Read Message History	Used to iterate through a specific user's message history as part of the !cleanup command.
Use External Emojis	Not presently used in the current implementation, but could be used as part of future features.
Add Reactions	Used to add reactions to feedback embeds, which can be used to interact with the embed.
Use Slash Commands	Not presently used in the current implementation, but will be used in the future when slash commands are more widely adopted.
Mute Members	Mute members from voice channels in the server as a result of a !mute command from an administrator.

Note

Denying Bernard one of the above permissions may prevent some features from working as expected!
