# Role order and permissions

Discord only lets Sift act on members below its own role, and anti-nuke needs to see audit events.

This one trips up a lot of servers. If Sift's role sits below a troublemaker's highest role, timeouts and bans fail without a sound. Drag Sift above every role it should enforce against. Keeping it below your owner and trusted admin roles is fine.

## Who can run what

-   Server owner: /setup, and starting a network.
-   Manage Server: /settings and /premium.
-   Your mod role (from setup): review commands and case actions.
-   Kick, Ban, Manage Messages or Manage Channels: the matching slash commands for manual actions.

## Anti-nuke trust

Anti-nuke can strip permissions from someone who's deleting channels or banning in bulk. Allowlist your trusted staff roles in /settings, so a real cleanup during a raid doesn't land on your head mod.
