How to Allow Users to Self-Assign Their Roles on Discord

Roles in Discord are great for organizing your server and giving members special permissions and titles like Gamer, Moderator, or Newbie. Typically, only admins and moderators can assign roles. But, letting members choose their own roles canmake your communitymore engaging and lighten the load for admins. While Discord doesn’t have a built-in option for this, you can enable self-assignable roles using bots. Here’s how to do it.

Choosing the Bot

There are many bots that let users assign their own roles. However, most of them aren’t very user-friendly, and the best ones often require a premium subscription. After trying out several bots, we found the Dyno Bot to be better as it is free, packed with features, and also provides a dashboard to configure everything instead of struggling with commands.

Self-Assign Roles Using Dyno Bot

The Dyno Bot is a moderator bot that provides many features like welcome messages, auto responders, auto bans, reminders, and more. Beyond these, it offers a feature-rich experience for setting up self-assignable roles on your server. You can configure everything from the dashboard. Here’s how to let users assign their roles with the help of the Dyno Bot.

Imagine you have a tech-relatedDiscord serverwhere you want to let users pick Android or iOS roles. To get started, first, we need to have the necessary roles in the server.

Step 3: Give Authority to Dyno Bot

Dyno Bot does not have permission to grant any role by default. It can only grant roles lower than its current role.

Step 4: Setup Reaction Roles Message

We will create a message that people can react to with an emoji or select from the provided options to get their desired role. Here’s how to do that:

Before sending the message, you’re able to customize a few other options according to your needs.

Step 5: Customize Reaction Roles

Users can react with an emoji, click on the button, or select from the drop-down according to the message. When users join any role, they will get notified accordingly.

Akinator: A Simpler Alternative

I was looking for a simple bot for reaction roles, but most of them have complicated commands and a hard setup process. Then I found Akinator! It’s actually a game bot that guesses the character you’re thinking of, but it also has a reaction roles feature that is easier to set up and convenient to use.
