When you create a Discord server, you hope that the server will gradually grow into a large community. Managing the server becomes challenging when you have to moderate the members and answer any questions asked while onboarding new members. If you are at such a challenging time, you can create a co-leader to help you manage your Discord server.
To create a co-leader in Discord, you need to create an administrator or moderator role and assign it to the person you want to coordinate the server with. Open the server settings on your Discord account and access the roles tab. Click on the “Create Role” button and name the new role. Add the permissions for the created role, such as administrator, and save the changes. With your role created, locate the target person from the members’ list and assign them the newly created role.
We will cover the steps for creating a role on Discord. Further, we will see the steps to assign the created role to the person you want to make your co-leader in Discord.
Can You Have a Co-Leader in Discord?
Managing a Discord server, especially one with many members, is not easy. Discord understands this and offers room for you to have a co-leader for your server, such that when you are unavailable, you have someone to moderate the server.
As the server owner, you can create different roles and assign permissions to these roles. When you assign a given role to a member, they will enjoy the privileges of the permissions associated with the role.
When you need a co-leader for your Discord server, consider creating a server admin who will get administrative privileges in the server and can perform tasks, such as kicking out members.
