Ask Cordary About Your Server: Who Can See What, Without Changing Anything

Sometimes you don't want to change your server. You just want to know something about it:

• "Who can see #staff-chat?"
• "Can new members post in #announcements?"
• "Which roles can ping everyone?"
• "Is anything private that shouldn't be?"

Cordary now treats these as questions, not requests. It answers them and leaves your draft alone.

Answers you can trust

Working out who can see a Discord channel is surprisingly hard. It depends on @everyone, every role's server-wide permissions, the category's overrides, the channel's own overrides, and whether the channel is synced with its category. People get it wrong all the time.

So Cordary doesn't guess. It works out access from your server's actual settings, then explains it in plain words. If something surprising is going on, like a role that can see a private channel through an override, it tells you why.

"Staff" means your Staff role

If your server has a role called Staff (or Mods, or Team), Cordary reads "staff" in your question as that role, not as a vague idea of "people who help out".

Then change it, if you want

Once you have your answer, just say what you'd like instead:

Who can see #staff-chat?

Cordary answers.

Only Admin and Moderator should. Hide it from Helper.

Now Cordary drafts the change, and you review it before anything happens.

Good questions to start with

• "Which channels can @everyone see?"
• "What can the Moderator role do?"
• "Who can manage roles?"
• "Are there channels that aren't synced with their category?"
• "Is there anything risky in my permissions?"
