Role mapping
AEGIS’s permission system (RBAC) is independent of raw Discord permissions — Discord permission flags only control command visibility, not what actually executes. Use/config roles to map your Discord roles onto AEGIS roles like moderator or
security_admin. The server owner always holds every permission implicitly, so you’re
never locked out.
See Installation & Permissions for the full list of built-in
roles and what each one grants.
Enforcement modes
Every protection — raid, anti-nuke, message/link — has its own enforcement mode:off, dry_run, log_only, human_approval, or automatic. New guilds start with safe
defaults (message and link protection log only; raid and anti-nuke require a human to
approve containment), so nothing takes action on your server until you decide it should.
Adjust modes per protection once you’ve seen what AEGIS would have done, with /config mode.
Full automatic lockdown can’t be configured at all — raid and anti-nuke containment always stop
short of the most disruptive response without a human approving it.
