Troubleshooting

Fylgra can't change permissions in a channel

In short

Discord only lets Fylgra change permissions in a channel if Fylgra can see the channel and has "Manage Permissions" there. In voice and stage channels, Fylgra also needs "Connect". Give Fylgra's role these permissions in Discord under Edit Channel › Permissions › Advanced permissions. Then click "Check again" in Fylgra and apply your changes.

Requirements

Plan

In every plan.

Discord
  • You need “Manage Roles” on the server.
  • Fylgra needs “View Channels” in the channel concerned.
  • Fylgra needs “Manage Roles” in the channel concerned.
Open in Fylgra

Opens “Roles & permissions” on your server. You'll sign in with Discord first.

Discord only lets Fylgra change permissions in a channel if Fylgra's role has enough permissions there itself.

What you see

In the permission matrix, a warning icon follows the channel name. Tap or click a cell in that column to see the reason and the fix.

In the Apply to Discord? dialog, these changes are listed under "Discord will probably reject …". To send one anyway, tick it.

After applying {#nach-dem-anwenden}, the Result of applying card shows the reason for each channel, such as "Fylgra can't see the "moderator-only" channel".

What Fylgra needs

Depending on the reason, allow this for Fylgra's role in the channel:

You need Manage Roles in Discord, and your highest role must sit above Fylgra's role.

How to unlock Fylgra

Ideally, do this only in the affected channel:

  1. In Discord, hover over the channel and click the cog (Edit Channel).

  2. Choose Permissions › Advanced permissions.

  3. Under Advanced permissions, click the Fylgra role or add it with +. Add members or roles further up isn't enough.

  4. Tick the permissions listed above and click Save Changes.

For a category, right-click its name, choose Edit Category and continue from step 2. Unlock channels with their own permissions separately.

Instead, you can give Fylgra a role that's already allowed there, or give Fylgra's role Administrator. Then Fylgra can do everything everywhere.

On your phone, the menus differ; if in doubt, use a computer.

Then check again

  1. Go back to the same Fylgra tab without reloading, or your staged changes are lost.

  2. Click Check again (in the dialog, matrix legend or cell notice).

  3. If it says "Checked again: Fylgra can now …", click Apply or Apply again.

Fylgra was given a role by another bot

If another bot gave Fylgra a role such as "Unverified", read Another bot's role stops Fylgra from seeing channels.

If your change would lock Fylgra out

If your change would hide a channel from Fylgra, the dialog asks:

If the buttons say Don't send and Send anyway, unlock Fylgra's role as above and check again.

If Discord still rejects it
