Create self-serve roles for your server members
Download Article
Do you want people to assign their own roles when they join your server? If you're the admin or mod for a large server, you may not have time to manually assign certain permissions to individual users. This process can be automated using a bot such as MEE6 or Carlbot. If you don't want to use a bot, you can still manually create and assign roles. Here's how to give people roles when they join on Discord using your computer or mobile device.
Auto-Assigning Roles in Discord
To automatically assign roles to new server members on Discord, add the Carlbot or MEE6 bot to your server. Select the Autoroles options and set a new role. If you want to create a self-serve role post with emojis, use Carlbot's reaction role settings instead.
