Discord Permissions

Discord users role based authorization for server administration. Below is an example of how you might go about supporting the same level of control but using scopie and permission based actions.

Not all discord permissions are listed below.

Server actions

Our structure for discord permissions is (allow or deny):server/<server_id>/<group>/<verb>. This is to allow us to define permissions across different servers while allowing us to also create different namespaces for permissions separate from servers later. It is also possible to separate server permissions completely from other servers, rather then trying to compare the server id within the permission.

Example Permissions

Here are a small list of examples permissions. Note that not all of these are practical and would be used in a real scenario.

Super wildcards

allow:**	Access to everything
allow:server/**	Access to everything on any server
allow:server/<server_id>/**	Access to everything on one server
