Discord is the most widely used communication forum for talking with family, friends, and other people worldwide. It offers servers where you can text, voice chat, and live stream. Discord also allows users to make their server and add friends and family as members. These servers can be publicly accessible for everyone or private. You can also invite or send someone a request to join the server.

This tutorial will briefly explain what an admin can do on Discord and how to assign the admin role to someone.

What an Admin can do on Discord?

The discord server owner can create and assign an admin role to anyone who deserves this position. A server admin can help the owner to protect users and perform other tasks. While assigning an admin role to any member, the server host allows multiple permissions to admin, including:

• • Manage server users and group chat.
  • Enforce members to follow the created rules.
  • Invite and add members.
  • Delete and edit messages.
  • Mute, ban or kick out users from the server.
  • Create channels, and add important announcements in the channel description.
  • Attach files and embedded links in the description.

Now, let’s look at the procedure of assigning the admin role to a server member.
