Panel Settings

Roles

Create roles for your staff and choose exactly what each one can do in the dashboard.

Last updated: November 4, 2026

1. What roles do

A role is a set of dashboard permissions with a name and a colour. Give roles to your staff in Members, and they only see and do what their roles allow. Roles are in order: the ones at the top outrank the ones below. The panel owner always has every permission.

2. Create a role

1. Open Roles and press Create new Role.
2. Type a Name (up to 30 characters).
3. Pick a Colour with the colour picker or by typing a hex code. It accents the role across the website.
4. Open Dashboard Permissions and tick what the role can manage.
5. Save the role.

3. Permissions

Permissions are split in two groups.

Moderation permissions (free)

• Administrator: full access except the owner-only settings. Grant it carefully.
• Moderator Panel: open the Moderator Panel.
• Warn, Kick, Ban, Ban BOLO and Note: create that kind of punishment log. Each one only lets the role create its own type.
• Edit Log and Delete Log: change and remove punishment logs.
• Request Staff: send staff requests from the Moderator Panel. Roles that existed before this permission was added do not have it until you turn it on.
• Moderation Settings: change the Moderation settings and presets.
• ER:LC Mod: run mod-level commands from the Moderator Panel and the /erlc command.
• ER:LC Admin: run ban, unban and shutdown.
• ER:LC Co-Owner: run admin and unadmin.
• Manage Sessions: start, end and manage sessions, boosts, polls and schedules (not session settings).
• Manage Activity: change the shift settings and activity waves, and see the activity leaderboard. See Shifts and Activity.
• Manage LOAs: review leave of absence requests. Approve, deny and end them. See Leave of Absence.

Page permissions (Grande+)

These let a role use a dashboard page. On a free panel only the owner can use these pages.

• Settings: change the panel’s General settings.
• Members: see Members and Requests, and remove members.
• Roles: create and manage roles, and give them to members.
• Discord Integration: change the Discord Integration settings and verification.
• ER:LC Integration: manage the ER:LC API key, logging and automation.
• Audit Logs: view the audit logs.

4. Order and ranks

Drag a role by its handle, or use the up and down arrows, to change its order. A Save Changes bar appears; press it to keep the new order. You can only change, move or give out roles that are below your own highest role, and only permissions you have yourself.

5. Edit and delete

Open the menu on a role to Edit or Delete it. Deleting asks you to confirm.

6. Limits

The count next to the search box shows how many roles you have, for example 3/10 roles. Free panels can have up to 10 roles. Grande+ removes the limit. Use Search roles to find one quickly.

7. If something does not work

• Role limit reached: delete one you do not use, or upgrade to Grande+.
• I can’t edit or move a role: it is at or above your own highest role, or it has permissions you do not have.
• Someone can’t see a page: check that one of their roles has the permission listed above.
