When working with Discord, the owner can create different roles and assign them to users, depending on the role and available permissions.
For instance, when you have a large server, one role you can create is the moderator or admin role and assign it to someone.
With time, you will end up having multiple roles you’ve created. So, how can you move roles on Discord mobile to reorder them?
Open the Discord application on your mobile. Locate the servers on the left sidebar and click on the server containing the roles you want to move. On the server’s page, click the vertical ellipsis at the top, then click the “settings” option. Scroll down to the “User Management” section and click the option for “Roles”. On the “Roles” page, click the “Reorder” button on the right. Next, long-press on a role to move it up or down, then click the “Save” button at the top.
To help understand how you can move roles on Discord mobile, we will first see the steps for creating roles. When we have the roles created, we check how to move them to reorder them for convenience.
How To Create Discord Roles
Discord roles are created initially by the server owner, and the created admin and moderators for the servers can also create Discord roles if they have the correct permissions.
When you create a role, you can assign it to someone, edit it, and revoke the permission whenever.
Follow the guide below to create a Discord role.
- Open your Discord mobile application.
- Once you’ve logged into your account, click on the target server on the left.
- Click on the vertical ellipsis at the top of the server’s page.
- Tap on the option for “Settings” on the menu options that appear.
- Scroll down to the “User Management” section and click on “Roles”.
- Click the plus icon at the top to create a new role.
- Add the role’s name, select its color, and then click the “Create” button.
- Next, set the permissions for the new role using the slider.
- Lastly, tap on the check box next to a member to assign them the role and click the “Finish” button.
You have your role created. Suppose you want more roles. Repeat the same steps, from clicking the plus icon to adding a new role.
How To Move Roles on Discord Mobile
When you have multiple roles in your server, it makes sense that you want a way of organizing the roles to access them conveniently.
Luckily, you can move your roles and reorder them to your preference.
- Open your Discord mobile application.
- Click on the target server.
- Tap on the vertical ellipsis at the top.
- Click on the option for “Settings”.
- Next, click on “Roles” in the “User Management” section.
- On the “Roles” page, locate the “Reorder” button on the right and click on it.
- Find the role you want to move, long-press on it, then move it up or down the order.
- To keep the changes, click the “Save” button at the top.
The only drawback is that you must manually move one role at a time, and when you have multiple roles, you want to reorder, this can be challenging and time-consuming. Yet, that’s your only way to move roles on Discord mobile.
Conclusion
Moving roles on Discord requires you to access the roles page on your Discord server and long-press on the roles you want to move.
Unfortunately, you must move one role at a time, but that’s the only feasible way to move roles on Discord mobile.
