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.
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:
Fylgra can't see the channel: View Channel (on a category: View Channels) and Manage Permissions.
"Connect" is missing in a voice or stage channel: Connect and Manage Permissions.
Fylgra can't manage permissions or can't set a permission: Manage Permissions.
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:
In Discord, hover over the channel and click the cog (Edit Channel).
Choose Permissions › Advanced permissions.
Under Advanced permissions, click the Fylgra role or add it with +. Add members or roles further up isn't enough.
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
Go back to the same Fylgra tab without reloading, or your staged changes are lost.
Click Check again (in the dialog, matrix legend or cell notice).
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:
Fylgra keeps access (preselected): Fylgra's role gets the permission it needs there ("added"). For everyone else, your change applies.
Lock Fylgra out: your change goes to Discord as it is. After that, you can only change the permissions there in Discord.
If the buttons say Don't send and Send anyway, unlock Fylgra's role as above and check again.
If Discord still rejects it
"… a permission – Discord doesn't say which": allow Manage Permissions for Fylgra's role in the channel itself, not just on the server.
"… and Fylgra doesn't hold it on your server itself": give Fylgra's role the permission under Server Settings › Roles, or remove the change with the × under Changes. Discard at the bottom removes all of them.
"Discord rejected … last time": untick them and fix it in Discord first.
The warning stays: a separate entry for the Fylgra bot (not the role) under Advanced permissions overrides every role. Set it to allowed or neutral.
