Permissions and role hierarchy

Why Ovels' role position — not just its permissions — decides who it can moderate.

TipStart with the dashboard for most configuration. Commands remain useful for quick actions and day-to-day moderation.
Music accessServer administrators can run /musicrole setup (or !musicrole setup) to create the Ovels Music Controller role. Members with that role can open the Music dashboard without needing full server-management access. The dashboard automatically checks your live Discord voice channel so playback starts in the right place — see the FAQ if it ever falls out of sync.
