Permissions
Discord permissions
When you add Volvox.Bot to your server, it requests the permissions it needs to function. These include:| Permission | Why it’s needed |
|---|---|
| Kick Members | Moderation actions |
| Ban Members | Moderation actions |
| View Channels | Access channels for logging and AI conversations |
| Send Messages | Bot responses, notifications |
| Manage Messages | Auto-mod message deletion |
| Read Message History | Access prior messages for AI context and search |
| Moderate Members | Moderation timeouts |
Volvox.Bot only uses permissions when performing an action. It doesn’t read or store messages unless a feature requires it.
Dashboard access
Dashboard access is controlled by Discord roles. By default, anyone with Manage Server permission can access the dashboard for their server. Configure who has access in Settings → Dashboard Access:- Admin — Full access to all dashboard features
- Moderator — Access to moderation, tickets, and audit log
- Viewer — Read-only access to analytics and settings
