Rights

About

Rights are instance-wide, per-user permissions for everything you may perform on the instance, such as sending messages, editing messages, or shutting down the server. They are separate from guild member permissions, which only apply to a given guild.

You may modify a users rights by editing the rights column in the users table.

The rights value is a bitfield string. To grant multiple rights you must add their values together. For example, to grant CREATE_GUILDS and SEND_MESSAGES, set their rights to
(1 << 15) = 32768 +
(1 << 25) = 33554432 =
33587200

The default rights value given to users (set through the register_defaultRights config value) is generated through the npm run generate:rights script. The script generates a rights value that mimicks Discord.com.

OPERATOR Rights

It is EXTREMELY DISCOURAGED to give OPERATOR rights to all users, or to set the default rights to OPERATOR. If your rights value is an odd number, that includes operator.

Operator rights currently grants access to the following, in addition to all rights:

  • Server shutdown through POST /api/stop
