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.

- 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.

How to Delete Discord Account [Step-by-Step]
Richard Bennett
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Discord is a voice and text chat service to bring like-minded people together, especially e-sports professionals.
The goal was to provide users with an improved communications platform that could streamline the way people speak in real-time and over the internet.
Originally designed for gamers, the app allowed users to communicate with others who share interests on a given topic.
After a while, the Discord app expanded its reach and included non-gamers as well. Today, it is one of the most popular chatting apps out there.
However, if, for any reason, you want to delete or disable your account for good, you can. In the following articles, you will learn about how to delete your account step by step.
- Part 1: Deleting A Discord Account Permanently on Desktop Computer
- Part 2: Deleting Discord Account from Mobile Devices
- Part 3: How to Disable Discord Account On Desktop Computer
- Part 4: How To Disable Discord Account On Mobile?
Part 1: How To Delete A Discord Account Permanently?
Are you done with a game, scared about your data, or just bored with the app? No problem! If you want to learn how to delete your discord account, look no further.
But before doing so, you’ll have to do two quick things:
- Reassign ‘administrative rights’ of the servers
- Completely delete them
The only reason you will have to think about these things is if you assumed responsibility for any server.
Without further ado, here are some easy to follow steps to delete a Discord account permanently:
- Open the Discord app
- Sign in to your Discord account and open the user settings option (Cog icon)
- Click the “My Account” option in the user setting menu. At the very bottom of the screen, you’ll see the “delete account” option
- Click the delete account button to make your Discord account disappear!
However, if you’ve activated 2FA, you may also be asked to put your password and 2FA code.
Also, if you want to delete your account permanently, there are some things you need to do before completing the process.
As mentioned before, if you’re the server’s owner, you’ll have to either delete your server or transfer its ownership to a trusted source.
For transferring ownership on Discord, follow these steps:
- Open the Discord app
- Click the “server name,” and a range of options will open; then click “server setting”
- At the bottom-left of the screen, click the ‘members’ option below “User Management”
- Here you’ll make the critical decision of who gets the keys to your kingdom. Once you decide who to transfer the ownership to, click the “3 vertical dots”
- As the “dialog menu” opens, click “Transfer Ownership”
Once it’s completed, you’ll become a regular server member. Your access to the server will be limited and as per the set position.
On the other hand, if you don’t want to transfer its ownership to someone else, you can also delete it.
Here’s how you can delete the server to complete the process of deleting your Discord account:
- Click the “Server Name” again
- Within the several options, click the “Server Settings.”
- At the bottom-left of your window, click the “Delete Server” option in the “User Management” section.
- Once clicked, the system will ask you to enter the account password to delete your server (or servers) from existence altogether
Like the primary Discord account deletion process, if you have enabled 2FA on this account, you’ll have to put in the code to get things completed.
After this, you’ll be asked one more time to click the “delete server” button before it is completely deleted. Keep in mind that you’ll have 14 days time to recover your Discord account. Once the two-week time passes, you won’t be able to retrieve or sign in to your account.
Once the account is deleted, the username will show up as “deleteduser 0000” or something similar to this. However, users you have texted via your account will still see your texts.
Part 2: How to Delete Discord Account From iPhone And Android?
Yes, you can delete the discord account from iPhone and Android. And if you’re wondering how to delete a Discord account, Here’s a quick way to do it:
- Open your updated discord app and tap the “hamburger” menu located at the top-left
- Tap the gear icon so you can go to the “user settings.”
- Select “My Account”
- Below the “Account Management” option, choose “Delete Account” and put your password and 2FA (if you have set it up)
Part 3: How To Disable Discord Account On Desktop Computer?
Deleting the account means you won’t be able to use it further, whereas disabling the account normally means you’re taking a little break.
So, if you don’t want to remove or delete your account entirely but only want it gone for some time, choose the disable option.
Here’s how you can disable a Discord account on a desktop computer:
- Open the app on your window PC/Mac and then log in to your Discord account
- Click the “User Settings” option and then go to the “My Account” option within the user settings
- In the lower corner of your Mac/PC screen, you’ll see the “Disable Account” button next to the “Delete Account” button
- Click the “Disable Account” option, and it will be disabled.
What’s The Difference Between Disabling And Deleting A Discord Account?
Disabling the account means you can recover it anytime you want, unlike deleting the account where you only have a 14-day restoration window. Additionally, when the account is disabled, you won’t receive notifications, but you will still get “friend requests.”
Part 4: How To Disable Discord Account On Mobile?
Disabling your Discord account for Android and iOS isn’t as simple as it is on a Desktop Windows/Mac PC.
Currently, there is no direct way to either delete or disable your Discord account through a mobile device.
