Introduction

Fake permissions allow you to grant users or roles temporary access to jar commands, without needing to modify their actual permissions in the server. This is useful for giving users access to commands they normally wouldn’t have, such as moderation commands, without making them moderators. For example, if you give a role the Kick Members fake permission, users with that role will be able to use the kick command through jar, even if they don’t have the Kick Members permission in Discord.
Fake permissions can only be added by the Server Owner, due to the potential security risks involved.
Here are some recommended permissions to consider when granting fake permissions:
  • Manage Messages: Allows the user/role to delete messages.
  • Timeout Members: Allows the user/role to mute (timeout) members.
  • Manage Nicknames: Allows the user/role to change nicknames of members.
  • Kick Members: Allows the user/role to kick members from the server.
