Staff Roles
Voltcord has six configurable staff role slots, all settable from /settings → Moderation (or via /modconfig roles):
- Admin Role and Moderator Role are permission roles. Admins can access all commands; Moderators can use moderation tools but not server configuration commands. The initial values can also be picked during
/setup. - Retired Staff and Staff 1 / 2 / 3 are staff team slots used by
/modconfig recruitand/modconfig fire. They don't grant moderation permissions on their own —recruitassigns the chosen slot's role,firestrips all staff roles and assigns Retired Staff.
