5. Advanced permissions
Includes the ‘Administrator’ permission, which by default enables all the permissions to the assigned user.
Part 2: How to Make and Add Roles in Discord on Computer
The desktop app and Browser resemble the mobile apple a lot. The process of assigning roles and configuring members is more or less the same across devices. First, you need to create roles and define their authority before assigning these roles to some members.
How to create roles in Discord?
Before you can assign roles, you need a server. Once you have created your Discord server, start crafting the structure.
- Open your server and right-click on it.
- From the menu that appears, tap server settings.
- Name the role suitably. It should be descriptive of the authority.
- Tap on the plus sign that appears on the top right of the page.
- Here, you can change the title off the roll and even choose the color.
- Now comes the time to grant some permissions. These are basically the authority that you gave to every profile.
- When you are done, save the changes.
How to Assign Roles to Members in Discord?
To be able to assign roles, you should first create them
- Once again, hit that right button on your server and go to server settings.
- From the menu that appears to the left, ‘choose members’ under user management.
- Here, you will see the list of all the members on your server, tap the Plus sign that is right beside the username.
- From the drop-down menu that appears, select a role you want to assign to that member.
- You will notice that the color changes as per your settings. And this is how you assign roles to a server.
Part 3: How to Manage Roles in Discord?
After you learn how to make roles in Discord, you might want to manage them.
If you have got the hang of creating roles, then managing them is no different. Whenever the server gets crowded, you can create more roles or modify the existing ones. A smaller server can run smoothly with just an admin and an ‘everyone’ role.
The quickest and easiest way to manage your bloating server is to let all members be ‘everyone’ and adjust permissions accordingly. So, whenever members enter your server, they will automatically be assigned the common role.
Further, you can easily figure out what roles you have assigned to whom. Due to these colors, the other members can identify moderators, admins, or other roles.
Part 4: How to Delete Roles in Discord?
Honestly, removing Discord roles easier than setting them up. There are hardly a few steps that you need to follow for role removal.
- place the cursor on the server, and hit the right-click.
- From the list, choose server settings. Then click on roles.
- From the roles window, tap on the role that you wish to delete.
- Towards the bottom, you will see the option to delete the role.
- Press ok to confirm.
Part 5: How to Add Roles on Discord Mobile?
Like we mentioned earlier, the user interface of Discord is similar across devices. So, there is little difference between the process of creating and managing roles. But it can be baffling for beginners, so here’s a brief!
1. How to create roles in Discord mobile app?
Before you can assign roles, you have to create them.
- Open your server.
- Tap on the arrow beside the server’s title. A drop-down menu will appear. Select ‘server settings’ from that.
- Tap on ‘Roles.’ A common role, ‘everyone’ is assigned to all the members who have basic permissions enabled for everyone.
- Tap the plus sign and add a role.
- Give the role a color and describe it in a few words.
- Go through the permissions and enable the ones that fit the role.
- Save the changes.
You can repeat this multiple times to create more roles.
2. How to Assign Roles in Discord mobile app?
- Head over to settings and select ‘Members.’
- Select the members you want to assign roles to.
- Tick the boxes beside each member’s name for the roles you are assigning them.
Save the changes, and you are good to go! You can assign multiple roles to a member.
Part 6: FAQs about Discord Server Roles
Just some obvious things you might wonder about.
- How to make someone admin on Discord?
Making someone admin is the same as assigning other roles. Open your server and go to server settings.
- From there, select ‘roles’ from the left pane.
- Create a new role.
- Name the role ‘admin’ or an equivalent title.
- Adjust the setting related to sorting out role members with other members.
- Go to general permissions and tick the ‘Administrator’ option.
- Hit the ‘save changes’ button at the bottom.
- Now it’s time to assign the role to someone. Right-click on the user that you want to assign the role.
- Choose ‘roles’ from the drop-down list and select ‘Admin.’
And now your server has an admin!
- How can I assign roles to new users in Discord automatically?
By default, every member gets the role of ‘everyone’ on the server. However, you can customize this and add the MEE6 bot for automatic role allocation.
- Why can’t I manage the server even I am an admin on the server?
This is likely to happen if the server owner gave you the role of admin, but the permissions are disabled. You can ask the owner to enable the permissions for your user ID.

Further, you can easily figure out what roles you have assigned to whom. Due to these colors, the other members can identify moderators, admins, or other roles.
Part 4: How to Delete Roles in Discord?
Honestly, removing Discord roles easier than setting them up. There are hardly a few steps that you need to follow for role removal.
- place the cursor on the server, and hit the right-click.
- From the list, choose server settings. Then click on roles.
- From the roles window, tap on the role that you wish to delete.
- Towards the bottom, you will see the option to delete the role.
- Press ok to confirm.
Part 5: How to Add Roles on Discord Mobile?
Like we mentioned earlier, the user interface of Discord is similar across devices. So, there is little difference between the process of creating and managing roles. But it can be baffling for beginners, so here’s a brief!
1. How to create roles in Discord mobile app?
Before you can assign roles, you have to create them.
- Open your server.
- Tap on the arrow beside the server’s title. A drop-down menu will appear. Select ‘server settings’ from that.
- Tap on ‘Roles.’ A common role, ‘everyone’ is assigned to all the members who have basic permissions enabled for everyone.
- Tap the plus sign and add a role.
- Give the role a color and describe it in a few words.
- Go through the permissions and enable the ones that fit the role.
- Save the changes.
You can repeat this multiple times to create more roles.
2. How to Assign Roles in Discord mobile app?
- Head over to settings and select ‘Members.’
- Select the members you want to assign roles to.
- Tick the boxes beside each member’s name for the roles you are assigning them.
Save the changes, and you are good to go! You can assign multiple roles to a member.
Part 6: FAQs about Discord Server Roles
Just some obvious things you might wonder about.
- How to make someone admin on Discord?
Making someone admin is the same as assigning other roles. Open your server and go to server settings.
- From there, select ‘roles’ from the left pane.
- Create a new role.
- Name the role ‘admin’ or an equivalent title.
- Adjust the setting related to sorting out role members with other members.
- Go to general permissions and tick the ‘Administrator’ option.
- Hit the ‘save changes’ button at the bottom.
- Now it’s time to assign the role to someone. Right-click on the user that you want to assign the role.
- Choose ‘roles’ from the drop-down list and select ‘Admin.’
And now your server has an admin!
- How can I assign roles to new users in Discord automatically?
By default, every member gets the role of ‘everyone’ on the server. However, you can customize this and add the MEE6 bot for automatic role allocation.
- Why can’t I manage the server even I am an admin on the server?
This is likely to happen if the server owner gave you the role of admin, but the permissions are disabled. You can ask the owner to enable the permissions for your user ID.

Discord is a communication software that allows users, mostly gamers, to communicate in real-time with clear lag-free voice chat and text chat and exchange information. It is available for free but requires you to buy Discord-Nitro to access more features.
Part 1: Why You Should Try A Discord Alternative?
Although Discord is an amazing application and used by the majority of the player base, professionals and even by companies for corporate meetings. There are some points due to which one might prefer something different than what discord has to offer as its main focus is to provide ease for all kinds of gamers.
Here are some reasons that might cause you to look at other alternatives:
- Server Raids
- Less Free File Transfer Size
- Not So Professional UI
- Less Specific Profile Editing
- No Self Hosting
- And more.
Part 2: Best Discord Alternative Programs You Should Try
There is a wide market of programs that can provide you the same features as Discord or features that aren’t in Discord but you need. Below is a list of programs that you can try to find perfect one for you.
Discord Alternatives Best For Gamer Chatting
1 TeamSpeak
TeamSpeak is a proprietary voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) application for audio communication between users on a voice channel, very almost like a call. Users typically use headphones with a microphone. It has been around since 2002 and hence is widely trusted by the community.
It allows crystal clear and lag free communication with 3D immersive features that help gamers who play real simulation games like Arma 3 to feel more involved with the radio feature and more. TeamSpeak is available on Window, Mac and on Mobile Devices.
Some of the advantages that TeamSpeak offers that make it better than the rest are:
- Spam Free
- Military Grade Encryption
- Host Private Servers
- Access over 100 add-ons, skins and voice packs
- Cloud-based service that enables you to synchronize your servers, settings, and preferences between devices with ease
- Won’t Provide Your Data to Third Parties
- 3D User Immersive Positioning
You can read more about it’s advantages at: https://teamspeak.com/en/features/overview/
2 Mumble
Mumble is a voice IP application primarily designed to be employed by gamers and is analogous to programs like TeamSpeak. Mumble uses a client–server architecture which allows users to speak to each other via an equivalent server. It has a really simple administrative interface and features high sound quality and low latency. It has been around since 2005 but they released the stable version in October 2020.
Mumble is quite similar to TeamSpeak in it’s features and abilities. But in addition to that, it provides a large list of features separate to each kind of user from End-users to Hosters.
Users use Mumble for realism with their positional audio. This means that the farther one is, the more difficult it would be to receive their audio signals. And so Eve Online Players have servers with almost 100 active voice participants at a time. Mumbleis available on Window, Mac and on Mobile Devices.
Some more advantages that Mumble offers are:
- Low Latency - Great for Gaming
- Privacy - Always Encrypted Communication
- Open Source
- Extensive User Permission System (ACL)
- Free Software - No Licensing or Cost (even for Hosters)

By offering surround sound and special sound effects on a per user, per channel level, the program provides each User the choice to completely customize sounds from other Users or events.
Ventrilo is best known for its superior sound quality and minimal use of CPU resources so as to not interfere with normal operations of the pc or during online game competitions. It is also preferred for the straightforward interface that any first time person can very quickly learn because the foremost commonly used features are immediately visible and can be activated with one click of the mouse.
Ventrilo uses a client-server based connection that’s always encrypted. User data isn’t collected or stored, hence it can’t be shared/sold to external entities. All text-chat communications/audio-recordings are stored locally on the Client computer. Ventrilo is available on Windows, Mac and even Linux. As for mobile users, it’s available on Apple Store and also for android but android users will have to download an APK which can be done from its website.
