Depending on if you’re looking at Text channel permissions or the Voice channel ones, will determine if you see the “Read Messages” permission or the “Connect” permission.Īnother slight variation from Text channels to Voice channels is that only Text channels will be completely hidden from those without access.Here you can see that the role has been denied permissions to “read messages.” Only those roles that were enabled when creating the channel currently have this permission.From the left side menu, select the “Permissions” tab.


Click on the Cog icon next to the newly created channel.If you’d like to take a look at the adjusted permissions for the channel, you can: By doing this, it makes life a little easier when it comes to setting up channel restrictions without having to directly set up channel restrictions. The default permissions for the channel are directly connected to the highest role that you’ve enabled entry. For now, we’ll focus on one of each Text and Voice. You can also make different channels for each tier of your server’s hierarchy but that is getting a bit ahead. Something like an ‘Admin Lounge’ or ‘Meeting Room’ where only those who have a bit of pull can attend. These can be either (or both) text channels and voice channels. Now we can go ahead and create the “members only” channel(s) for your server. Some users just prefer to get it out of the way early as this way you can test it immediately after creating it. You could wait to do this until after you’ve created the channel as it’s really up to you. This should go without saying but I’d like to be thorough so that nothing is skipped. Secondly, you’ll need to assign that role to only those members you want to grant special access to the channel. Just be sure that the permissions for the role line up with those for the channel. We will assume that you’ve already created one in order to move ahead with the topic of discussion. To begin this process, you’ll have to have created a certain role for the granted special access to the channel.
