Configuration: Channels, Roles, and Permissions

Configure the Settings page so GearCheck knows where to operate, who can manage it, and which roles/channels power each workflow.

Start Here

Who uses it: Guild owners and managers
Where it lives: Dashboard > Settings and Setup Wizard
Goal: A guild where staff permissions, gearcheck channels, support/audit destinations, language, and module settings are understandable.

Before You Start

Manage Server or GearCheck manager access.
Discord roles/channels created for your desired workflow.
Bot role placed above assignable roles.

Steps

Start with staff access
Managers, assistants, and moderators should map to the people who actually operate GearCheck. Use roles for groups and specific users for exceptions where supported.
Configure channels by workflow
GearCheck channels are for member gear check threads. Support channels are for tickets. Audit channels are for history. Notification channels are for rule-driven alerts. Avoid reusing one channel for every purpose unless your server is tiny.
Configure roles carefully
Verified roles, activity roles, role gates, moderator roles, and staff roles each do different jobs. Discord hierarchy still applies: the bot cannot assign roles above its own role.
Set language and evidence defaults
Dashboard, bot, game-data, and OCR language settings can be different. Evidence defaults should match the game and pack your members will actually use.
Re-run setup checks after changes
After Discord channel or role cleanup, revisit Settings or Setup. Deleted channels, renamed roles, and hierarchy changes are common causes of broken workflows.
Personalize the server color
Settings > Server lets your guild pick its own color. GearCheck runs it down the left edge of the dashboard and your public pages, lightened when needed so it stays visible. It never colors text or buttons.
