Copy Role Permissions

Nelly
Ladies and gentlemen, I have been using Discord for a large amount of time now. I have seen it's pros and cons. One of these specific cons that have come to my attention was having to create roles and manually adding permissions to each individual role. This is a HUGE waste of time. Wouldn't it just make our life a wee bit better if we were eligible to COPY and PASTE role permissions from one role to another? I just see this as a huge complication and a waste of time. It's time to accelerate Discord! I have many servers, and many of these servers consist of roles that have the exact same permissions, it would be SO much easier if I could literally copy and paste the permissions from one role to another. Please vote on this! We desperately need this in the upcoming updates people!

    I might have a solution:
    As I understand, you want to add roles for a group of people but some roles have the same permissions. It's the same for me, but what I do is I put them in a special group, let's call a group "Talker" for all the roles who have the permission to talk. Then, I'll give them both permissions but only the "talker" role is actually doing something, the other roles are just for display, just something to tell the others he has this role. I don't know if you understand what I say

    That's not quite all of what we are looking for as a whole. In larger servers we would require multiples of the exact same permission because the same permission group gets nested under various chat tabs. You see this become more evident I'm servers with patreon tiers or competitive online gaming guild servers where you have both a verbal and non verbal permission group listed for specific events such as raiding groups generals and soldiers, etc and only certain permission tiers are allowed to talk or even view specific channels. Technically the same could be accomplished by assigning the tier as a second perm but its far slower and mor clunky and eventually you may still end up requiring more than one copy of the group depending on manual or bot assignment etc. Would also limits the functionality of the role sync as you would also have to go and manually adjust the roll order time and time again to make sure the highest rolls were set before the lower in the higharchy rather than having a general role that fulfils the function

     

    A better example is my server is currently having to do just that. I have one permision role for speaking in channels and one for each time frame of gameplay. In each 8 hour span of normal play we have 3 team leaders and assign them each group members based on play time so they bond and grow with each other and always have people to turn to.

     

    As it stands just for one server for one guild just to set up one chat folder its

    3 Time periods of play spanning roughly 8 hours. An officer role a general role and a speaking vs non speaking role

    7 role to manage just for controlling 3 groups.

    This is the quickest method imo its also very time consuming I would neec to make 3 sets of the same roles just to accomplish the base role tree this is also assuming I don't have more than one group of players participating in various tasks such as multi game servers, event servers, patreon tiers and alliance should I choose to create or host an alliance servers. 

     

    I'm my SWtoR server there are 3 Guild Alliance server each with thier own areas as well as Alliance chats for when we do PvE content and each needs Duplicate Rolls with Duplicate perms.

    The roles include, Jedi/Sith, Class (8 for each side which gives comprehensive guides to newbies), Crafting, Gear MinMaxing, Warzone groups, Officers/Generals (Both chats and permission groups), Questions groups across the time frames as well as raid teams pvp training teams etc.

    To be honest the Duplicate role/perm button is a neccessity simply to ease the creation of what honestly shouldn't need to be remaid 30 times

    I would really like this. I run a game system server and maintaining roles for every faction (30+), plus a pingable variant of each, plus specialist roles... it's a mess

    This would be insanely helpful. I have many roles (and want to add more) that are purely aesthetic so they all have the same exact perms. It takes a painstakingly long time to add the roles and redo all the perms by hand. I know this was proposed three years ago but I really hope this gets implemented.

    Dear Discord,

       Please look into enabling this simple feature. It would be welcome for those who want to create a role that's similar to another role with the adjustment of a couple of permission clicks. Would also assist in those with wrist/hand difficulties, effectively reducing the number of clicks. Currently, instead, we have to create a whole new role, cross-examine permissions and re-enable each & every permission over again.

    Hope everyone in the office has a wonderful day, stay safe. Thank you!

    Sincerely,
    Swiftnezz

    3 years and nothing yet...

    This is the one thing that annoys me the most about Discord. US$ 500 per year to maintain a Community server with some visual goodies and an acceptable upload limit, but important features like this one never gets implemented. And if you dig a little bit further, you'd find lots of cases like this.

    having cool Feedback to Discord Team to about Copy Role Permissions that mean by that its similar to when using Clone Channel option or make Server Template at Server Setting, for Clone Channel when Clone Channel we can name the now Channel and all Roles/Members Overrides will be included but for Server Template the Templates will copy:Channels and channel topics, Default server settings and Default server settings. am very tired of going over and over Server's, Category's, Channel's, Role's and more and later finds out that its something missing permission. when it comes to make it easier for Server Management or Server Moderator (Community Admins and Moderators) Its noo Waste of time! in my Discord Server Community's using roles for has Benefits, Events, Title Updates, and mostly members. Wish it really was a 'Clone Role option' simple has that rest of Clone Feature.

    alternate suggestion: export permission lists (for roles, channels, or anything else) to JSON/XML/some other format on the clipboard. Then not only do you have this feature, but you can also share it with someone that wants a similar permission setup.

    Also, anyone that thinks discord takes feedback seriously, hasn't noticed that they decided to piggyback the feedback site off of their Zendesk subscription to save $. It used to be a dedicated site... back when they cared or at least knew how to fake it?
