Commands

Control who can use Mody's commands, where, and by what name.

The Commands page lists the commands Mody offers and lets you tailor each one to your server. Browse the list, search by name, and open any command to adjust its settings.

Open it

Commands is available from the dashboard sidebar. Open it from your server dashboard.

Per-command settings

Open a command to configure:

  • Enable or disable. Turn off a command you do not want available in your server.
  • Aliases. Add your own names for a command so members can run it the way they are used to. A custom alias points at the same underlying command.
  • Role restrictions. Allow or deny specific roles. By default anyone can use a command. Add allowed roles to limit it, or denied roles to block them.
  • Channel restrictions. Limit a command to certain channels, or block it in others, so commands only work in a dedicated bot channel.

How allow and deny interact

Allow lists and deny lists work together. A member must be permitted (allowed if an allow list is set, or simply not denied) and be in a permitted channel for the command to run. Start with a deny list to block a few cases, and reach for an allow list only when a command should be locked down to a specific group.

Restrictions apply on top of Discord's own permissions. A command still requires whatever Discord permissions its action needs. Restricting a ban command to a role does not grant that role permission to ban.
