# Discord Wanderer Role - Channel Permissions Setup Guide
|
||||
|
||||
**For:** Holly (unicorn20089 / The Catalyst)
|
||||
**Created:** March 28, 2026
|
||||
**Purpose:** Configure Wanderer role so free users see Fire/Frost paths but can't access them (FOMO driver)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 GOAL
|
||||
|
||||
**What Wanderer should see:**
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **CAN ACCESS (Read + Send):**
|
||||
- Welcome & Info channels
|
||||
- Community Hub (all channels)
|
||||
- Support channels
|
||||
- Voice channels (Lobby, Game Rooms, AFK)
|
||||
|
||||
🔒 **CAN SEE BUT LOCKED (FOMO Driver):**
|
||||
- 🔥 Fire Path category + all fire channels (visible but can't access)
|
||||
- ❄️ Frost Path category + all frost channels (visible but can't access)
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **CANNOT SEE AT ALL:**
|
||||
- Subscriber Lounge
|
||||
- Game Servers
|
||||
- Staff Area
|
||||
- modlog
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 CURRENT ISSUES TO FIX
|
||||
|
||||
Based on "View Server As Role" test:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Fire Path & Frost Path are completely hidden** → Should be visible but locked
|
||||
2. **modlog is visible to Wanderer** → Should be hidden (staff only)
|
||||
3. **Support category might be incomplete** → Verify network-status and breezehost-service-alerts are visible
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 FIX #1: Make Fire Path Visible But Locked
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 1: Configure Fire Path Category**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Right-click** the **"🔥 Fire Path"** category name
|
||||
2. Click **"Edit Category"**
|
||||
3. Go to **"Permissions"** tab
|
||||
4. Click **"Advanced permissions"** (if you see it)
|
||||
5. Click **"+ Add members or roles"**
|
||||
6. Select **"Wanderer"** from the dropdown
|
||||
7. Set these permissions for Wanderer:
|
||||
|
||||
**ALLOW (Green ✅):**
|
||||
- ✅ View Channel
|
||||
|
||||
**DENY (Red ❌):**
|
||||
- ❌ Send Messages
|
||||
- ❌ Send Messages in Threads
|
||||
- ❌ Create Public Threads
|
||||
- ❌ Create Private Threads
|
||||
- ❌ Embed Links
|
||||
- ❌ Attach Files
|
||||
- ❌ Add Reactions
|
||||
- ❌ Connect (if there are voice channels)
|
||||
- ❌ Speak (if there are voice channels)
|
||||
|
||||
8. Click **"Save Changes"**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 2: Sync All Fire Channels**
|
||||
|
||||
For each channel in Fire Path (fire-general, fire-strategy, fire-events, fire-leaderboards):
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Right-click** the channel
|
||||
2. Click **"Edit Channel"**
|
||||
3. Go to **"Permissions"** tab
|
||||
4. **Make sure** the toggle at the top says **"Sync permissions with category"** (should be ON/enabled)
|
||||
5. If it says "permissions are synced" → perfect, move to next channel
|
||||
6. If it says "permissions are not synced" → click the sync button
|
||||
7. Click **"Save Changes"**
|
||||
|
||||
**Repeat for all 4 Fire Path channels.**
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 FIX #2: Make Frost Path Visible But Locked
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 1: Configure Frost Path Category**
|
||||
|
||||
Same process as Fire Path:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Right-click** the **"❄️ Frost Path"** category
|
||||
2. Click **"Edit Category"**
|
||||
3. **Permissions** tab
|
||||
4. **"+ Add members or roles"** → Select **"Wanderer"**
|
||||
5. Set permissions:
|
||||
- ✅ **View Channel** = GREEN (allow)
|
||||
- ❌ **Send Messages** = RED (deny)
|
||||
- ❌ All other message/voice permissions = RED (deny)
|
||||
6. **Save Changes**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### **Step 2: Sync All Frost Channels**
|
||||
|
||||
For each channel (frost-general, frost-builds, frost-events, frost-gallery):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Right-click → **Edit Channel**
|
||||
2. **Permissions** tab
|
||||
3. Verify **"Sync permissions with category"** is ON
|
||||
4. Save
|
||||
|
||||
**Repeat for all 4 Frost Path channels.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 FIX #3: Hide modlog from Wanderer
|
||||
|
||||
The #modlog channel should be staff-only, not visible to free users.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Right-click** the **#modlog** channel
|
||||
2. Click **"Edit Channel"**
|
||||
3. Go to **"Permissions"** tab
|
||||
4. Click **"+ Add members or roles"**
|
||||
5. Select **"Wanderer"**
|
||||
6. Set permission:
|
||||
- ❌ **View Channel** = RED (deny)
|
||||
7. Click **"Save Changes"**
|
||||
|
||||
Now Wanderer won't see modlog at all.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 FIX #4: Verify Support Category
|
||||
|
||||
**Check if these channels exist in the Support category:**
|
||||
- network-status
|
||||
- breezehost-service-alerts
|
||||
- support-tickets
|
||||
|
||||
**If they exist, make sure Wanderer can see them:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Right-click **"Support"** category
|
||||
2. **Edit Category** → **Permissions**
|
||||
3. Find **"Wanderer"** role
|
||||
4. Make sure:
|
||||
- ✅ **View Channel** = GREEN (allow)
|
||||
- ✅ **Read Message History** = GREEN (allow)
|
||||
- ✅ **Send Messages** = GREEN (allow) - *for support-tickets only*
|
||||
|
||||
**OR just verify the category permissions allow Wanderer to view.**
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ VERIFICATION: Test Your Changes
|
||||
|
||||
After making all the changes above:
|
||||
|
||||
### **Option A: Use "View Server As Role"**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to **Server Settings** → **Roles**
|
||||
2. **Right-click** "Wanderer" role
|
||||
3. Click **"View Server As Role"**
|
||||
4. You should now see:
|
||||
|
||||
**What you SHOULD see:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Welcome & Info
|
||||
✅ welcome, rules, announcements, get-roles
|
||||
|
||||
🔥 Fire Path
|
||||
🔒 fire-general (you can see it but it's locked)
|
||||
🔒 fire-strategy (locked)
|
||||
🔒 fire-events (locked)
|
||||
🔒 fire-leaderboards (locked)
|
||||
|
||||
❄️ Frost Path
|
||||
🔒 frost-general (locked)
|
||||
🔒 frost-builds (locked)
|
||||
🔒 frost-events (locked)
|
||||
🔒 frost-gallery (locked)
|
||||
|
||||
Community Hub
|
||||
✅ general-chat, memes, introductions, showcase,
|
||||
off-topic-chat, suggestions, support, feedback
|
||||
|
||||
Voice Channels
|
||||
✅ Lobby, Game Room 1, Game Room 2, AFK
|
||||
|
||||
Support
|
||||
✅ support-tickets (and others if they exist)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What you should NOT see:**

||||
- ❌ modlog (hidden)
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### **Option B: Test with Alt Account**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a test Discord account (or use an alt)
|
||||
2. Join Firefrost Gaming
|
||||
3. Carl-bot should auto-assign Wanderer role
|
||||
4. Check what channels you can see
|
||||
5. Try to click on fire-general → should see 🔒 lock icon
|
||||
6. Leave the test account in the server or kick it when done
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🎨 WHAT THIS ACHIEVES (The FOMO Strategy)
|
||||
|
||||
**Free users (Wanderer) will see:**
|
||||
|
||||
> "Oh wow, there's a Fire Path with fire-general, fire-strategy... but I can't access it!"
|
||||
>
|
||||
> "I can see Frost Path exists but all the channels are locked!"
|
||||
>
|
||||
> "I need to subscribe to unlock these!"
|
||||
|
||||
**This is WAY more effective than hiding the paths completely.**
|
||||
|
||||
They can participate in Community Hub for free, but they KNOW there's more content waiting if they subscribe.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🆘 TROUBLESHOOTING
|
||||
|
||||
### **Problem: Channel still shows as accessible instead of locked**
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
- Go back to the category permissions
|
||||
- Make sure Wanderer has View Channel = GREEN
|
||||
- Make sure Wanderer has Send Messages = RED
|
||||
- Re-sync the individual channels
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### **Problem: Wanderer can't see the Fire/Frost categories at all**
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
- Check category permissions
|
||||
- Wanderer needs View Channel = GREEN (allowed) at the category level
|
||||
- Individual channel denies come from Send Messages = RED
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### **Problem: Channel shows "Sync permissions" but changes don't take effect**
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
- Click "Save Changes" on the category first
|
||||
- Then go to the individual channel
|
||||
- Toggle "Sync permissions" OFF then back ON
|
||||
- Save again
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## ✨ WHEN YOU'RE DONE
|
||||
|
||||
**Ping Michael in Discord:**
|
||||
|
||||
"@Frostystyle Wanderer permissions are configured! Fire/Frost paths are now visible but locked. Ready for testing."
|
||||
|
||||
**Or just let him know in #staff-lounge that it's done!**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📝 NOTES
|
||||
|
||||
- These are CATEGORY-level permissions that apply to all channels in that category
|
||||
- Individual channels inherit from their parent category (that's the "sync" feature)
|
||||
- If you need a channel to behave differently, you can override at the channel level
|
||||
- @everyone role permissions apply to EVERYONE including Wanderer (so be careful with those)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Questions?** Ask Michael or Meg in #staff-lounge!
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated time:** 10-15 minutes
