Flamey provides a robust permission system that allows you to control exactly who can use which commands and where.
Role hierarchy is always respected. Flamey cannot punish a user who has a role higher than or equal to the bot’s highest role.

​
Bot Managers

Bot Managers are special users who bypass all permission checks and restrictions. They have full access to the bot’s capabilities.
Grant Bot Manager status only to people you fully trust. They can bypass all checks!

Manage via Dashboard

Go to Dashboard > Settings > Bot Managers to add or remove managers.

​
Command Restrictions

You can restrict individual commands based on roles, channels, or Discord permissions.
Specify which roles are allowed to use a command.
  • If no roles are set, the command is available to everyone (unless other restrictions apply).
  • If roles are set, only users with those roles can use the command.
Restrict command usage to specific channels.
  • Useful for keeping spammy commands (like games or leveling) out of serious channels.
  • Admin commands are often restricted to staff-only channels.
Some commands require native Discord permissions.
  • Example: The ban command requires the Ban Members permission by default.
  • You can overwrite this in the dashboard to allow specific roles to use it without giving them the Discord permission.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Check if you have the required role.
  • Check if you are in an allowed channel.
  • Ensure you are not on a cleanup/blacklist (if applicable).
If you see a “Hierarchy Error”, it means the user you are trying to moderate has a role higher than or equal to the bot’s role. Move the bot’s role higher in the Server Settings.
