Introducing: Add Cordary with Administrator, or Choose Its Permissions Yourself

Adding Cordary to a server now starts with one simple choice: give it Administrator, or choose its permissions yourself.

What's new

• One choice, up front. Every way of adding Cordary opens the same page: "Connect a server" in the app, /setup in Discord, and the "Add App" button on Cordary's Discord profile. Pick an option, then confirm on Discord's own screen.
• Administrator, recommended. Cordary can reach every channel and give your roles any permission you approve, so a missing permission or a channel hidden from Cordary never gets in the way of a plan.
• Or the standard set. Prefer to keep things trimmed? Choose the standard set: everything Cordary needs to build roles, channels, settings and AutoMod, without Administrator or the power to ban, kick, time out, mute or move people. You can untick anything you like on Discord's screen.
• Simpler settings. The separate switches for moderation, voice and pin permissions are gone. If something needs a permission Cordary doesn't have, you'll see one Re-invite Cordary button that brings you back to the same choice.

Why we recommend Administrator

Cordary builds whole server structures: roles, categories, channels, who can see what, and the posts in them. That means it needs to reach private channels, and it can only give a role a permission it holds itself. With Administrator, both are taken care of, and plans go through in one go.

It doesn't change how Cordary behaves:

• Nothing changes on your server until you review a plan and press Apply.
• Cordary never kicks, bans, times out, mutes, deafens or moves anyone itself.
• It never reads your members' messages, only the posts it made itself.
• You can roll back what it created.

If you'd rather choose

Choosing the standard set is completely fine, and it's still what most structure work needs. When a change needs something more, Cordary tells you in the chat and in the Server tab. You can give Cordary's role that permission in Discord (Server Settings → Roles), or re-invite it with Administrator.

One thing Administrator doesn't change

Discord never lets a bot edit or give roles above its own, even with Administrator. After adding Cordary, drag its role above the roles you want it to manage in Server Settings → Roles. Our guide to roles and permissions explains how the role order works.

Already using Cordary?

Your servers keep the permissions they have, and everything works as before. To switch to Administrator, open the Server tab, then Settings, and choose Re-invite Cordary, or use "Connect a server" for the same server.
