How to Create Roles in Discord
Before you add roles in discord, it is essential to set up your roles properly to manage your users on a Discord server.
Therefore, set basic roles before you start to invite people to the server.
Similarly, you can also go back and add new roles or reconfigure existing roles once you’re done setting up things.
- Log in to Discord.
- Access your server
- Click on the drop-down arrow to the right of the server name and click ‘Server Settings’.
- In the left pane, click ‘Roles’.
- You should be seeing a single role called @everyone
- Next, click the + sign there at the top of the center pane to add a role.
- Here’s the interesting thing. You name the role something descriptive and assign it a color because that separates it from other roles.
- Now, go through all the 32 permissions, and assign titles or ranks that you can give to members in your server.
- Save your work.
- For every new role, repeat the steps.
Now, when you assign different permission levels to different roles, you create a hierarchy of people you trust.
To new ones, you can assign lower roles and power roles to those you know well.
How to Add Roles in Discord
Now, that you have created roles for your server, you need to add roles to the users in your chat.
- From the right-hand pane, select the user you want to add the role to
- Select the small add sign + under the username and select the role from the menu.
- You’ll repeat this for every new role you add.
- You can also do this by right-clicking on the user, selecting roles, and then clicking on the role(s) you want to add in the pop-out menu.
- You can add roles in discord as many as you want.

Well, the instructions are more or less the same as above.

Editing Roles in Discord Mobile
Launch Discord > Server setting > Roles
- Tap the role you want to edit
- Scroll through the list and any necessary changes
- The above list will keep your Discord server organized and productive when you follow through.
How to Manage Roles
This is similar to creating new roles.
As the community grows, you can add others.
Put as much of your server’s policy decisions as possible in the @everyone role so that the users by default have the permission that you want them to have.
On the last column on the Roles page, you will also see the names of all the roles with a display of the color of the highest role assigned to the user.
This way users can easily recognize who the moderator, admins, etc. are on the server
How to Delete Roles in Discord
If your account is becoming cluttered with unused roles, here’s how you can delete them:
- Click on the small drop down arrow next to your server and select ‘server settings’
- Select Roles in the left pane and select the role you want to delete
- Scroll down and click the Delete button with role name written with it.
- Confirm by clicking “Okay.”
