Hand out roles and set permissions by saying so.
The permission matrix is the part of Discord nobody enjoys. It is also the part a sentence describes best.
You say
Newcomers should see the rules first: a Newcomer role that only sees #rules and #welcome, and everyone who joins gets it.
And then
Role created, two channels opened to it, everything else closed, the journal says which overwrites.
Create, edit, clone and reorder roles; give and take them; set and reset what a role or a member may do per channel. Deleting a role is off until you switch it on, because a deleted role takes its members’ permissions with it.
With our bot it is a channel on your server and about a minute to set up. With your own bot and Claude or ChatGPT it is about 5 minutes. Same tools either way.
