This link includes the correct permission set and scopes automatically.

What permissions Nexcord requests

The permission value 1099780156438 covers:

  • Manage Roles — to assign the verified role after a member passes verification
  • Kick Members — to auto-kick members who don't verify within the timeout window
  • Read Messages / View Channels — to watch channels for transcript collection
  • Send Messages — to post verification embeds and transcript outputs
  • Embed Links — to send formatted embeds
  • Read Message History — to collect messages for transcripts
  • Use Slash Commands — to register and respond to /transcript, /verification setup, /help, /ping

Nexcord does not request Administrator. Only the permissions above are granted.

What you need before inviting

  • A Discord server where you have the Manage Server or Administrator permission.
  • Enough role hierarchy to place the Nexcord bot role above the verified role you plan to use.
  • A Nexcord account — sign in at nexcord.app/dashboard.

Installation checklist

  1. Open the invite link.
  2. Choose the target server from the dropdown.
  3. Review the requested permissions and click Authorize.
  4. Complete the CAPTCHA if prompted.
  5. Confirm Nexcord appears in your server's member list.
  6. Open the dashboard and complete server setup.

Role hierarchy

If you plan to use verification, the Nexcord bot role must sit above the verified role in your server's role list. Discord only allows bots to assign roles that are below their own highest role.

Example order (top to bottom):

  • Server Owner
  • Nexcord (Bot role must be here)
  • Verified (The role Nexcord will assign)
  • Member

To check: go to Server Settings → Roles and drag Nexcord above your verified role.

If slash commands do not appear

Global slash commands can take up to 1 hour to propagate across Discord after the bot joins. If they are not showing:

  • Close and reopen Discord.
  • Confirm Nexcord is still in your server's member list.
  • Run /ping once the commands appear to confirm the bot is responsive.

Next step

Continue to Dashboard Setup to link your Discord server to your Nexcord account.
