Discord permissions allow users to manage behaviour points and exclusions via the system, as well as key components that make it work. To do this, run the slash command/pemissions add discordand then follow the other prompts, in the example provided below.

/permissions add discord `role:` "School Staff Team" `permission:` "Staff"

Upon using the command, you will be prompted with two required fields: a Discord role and a pre-set permission level. You will need to provide the role you wish to allow permissions for (such as “School Staff Team”) and then the level of access you would like that specific role to have, which is explained in the table.Once all permissions have been set up for a role, they will appear with the /permissions list slash command, which you must ensure you set permissions for selected Discord roles; otherwise, they will be unable to access staff Discord features - students do not require this.

Options	Description
Staff	This gives access to use the behaviour slash commands, such as adding or removing behaviour points
Senior Leadership Staff	This gives access to manage exclusions and behaviour slash commands, such as adding/removing behaviour points
LuaSIMS Administrator	This gives full access to the LuaSIMS system features and settings; only issue this to trusted individuals

/permissions add roblox `rank:` "150" `permission:` "Staff"

Upon using the command, you will be prompted with two required fields: a Roblox rank ID and a pre-set permission level. You will need to provide the rank ID you wish to allow permissions for (such as “150”), which can be found in the community rank configuration page, and then the level of access you would like that specific role to have, which is explained in the table.Once all permissions have been set up for a role, they will appear with the /permissions list slash command, which you must ensure you set permissions for every role; they will be unable to access staff features if not configured - student ranks do not require this.
