Why use fake permissions?

Fake permissions let you grant access to Omex moderation commands without giving the same dangerous native Discord permissions to that user/role. This helps reduce abuse risk from compromised or rogue staff because they can only act through Omex command checks

How this works

When you grant a fake permission (for example manage bans), that target can use Omex commands gated by that permission They still cannot use native Discord actions unless they already have the real Discord permission.
The following commands can only be used by the server owner

commands

Use fakepermissions add (or fp add) to grant one fake permission to a user or role.
Add one permission per command call. Do not use comma-separated lists.
Use fakepermissions remove (or fp remove) to revoke one fake permission from a user or role.
Use fakepermissions view (or fp view) to view all fake permissions configured in the server.
Use fakepermissions clear (or fp clear) to wipe all fake permission entries.

Use one of the following names when running fp add/fp remove:
  • manage bans
  • kick members
