Command access
The Commands module restricts how Kotbo’s slash commands can be used on your server. It is the essential tool for making sure your sensitive commands are not used by just anyone, just anywhere.
How the page is organised
Section titled “How the page is organised”The page is split into two main tabs, below the title:
- Permissions: the configuration interface where you define the access rules.
- Structure: the full list of Kotbo commands available on your server, with their description, their parameters and their subcommands. Every parameter is described by its type (Text, Number, Member, Channel, Role, Attachment…) and its status, Required or Optional.
Three figures sum the server up at the top of the page: Commands, Restrictions and Disabled.
A search bar, categories (All, Moderation, Administration, Community, Economy, Fun, Utility) and status filters (With restrictions, No restrictions, Disabled) help you find a command quickly.
Turning a command off
Section titled “Turning a command off”Every command card carries a switch. Turned off, it disables the command for the whole server.
Restricting a command
Section titled “Restricting a command”On an enabled command’s card, the Allowed roles are set directly. The Advanced restrictions block expands for channels, blocked roles and members.
You can restrict a command against three criteria, which stack:
1. Roles
Section titled “1. Roles”Determines which groups of users can run the command:
- Allowed roles: only members holding one of these roles can use the command.
- Blocked roles: members holding one of these roles are blocked, even if they have the default Discord rights.
No role selected means default Discord behaviour, based on the command’s permissions. Administrators always keep access to enabled commands.
2. Channels
Section titled “2. Channels”Determines the channels where the command is active:
- No channel: Executable anywhere.
- Allowed channels: Restricted to configured channels.
- Blocked channels: Forbidden in configured channels.
3. Members
Section titled “3. Members”Lets you target specific members by their Discord ID. Enter the Discord ID, then Allow or Block.
A Rule summary recalls in one line what the configuration produces: roles, channels and members allowed or blocked.
The Quick actions wipe things clean: Clear channels, Clear roles, Clear members or Clear all.
Detecting and resolving conflicts
Section titled “Detecting and resolving conflicts”A configuration can sometimes end up with contradictory rules (for example if you add the @Moderator role to both the allowed roles and the blocked roles).
- Conflict alert: the dashboard detects these anomalies automatically and shows a red warning alert.
- Resolve conflicts: a button appears in the alert to clean up the configuration automatically, removing the conflicting duplicates in one click.
