Headless’s Auto Role interface uses English by default. When configuration is loaded, only text that exactly matches a previous built-in default is updated; server-customized copy is preserved.

Join-time assignment

The module is disabled by default. When enabled, it assigns the configured bot role to bot accounts; people receive the human role and, when configured, the temporary Pending Verify role. The default delay is 2 seconds. delay accepts an integer from 0 to 86,400 seconds; out-of-range values are clamped. The handler skips members with a configured exempt role, roles they already have, and roles Headless cannot manage.

Verify and pending roles

Verify’s built-in panel uses English default titles, messages, and button labels. When reading older settings, Headless converts only values that exactly match the former built-in defaults; custom text—including Spanish copy—is preserved. Headless’s Verify flow assigns the roles configured in Verify and removes Auto Role’s Pending Verify role where applicable. Although .autorole verified @Role saves a verified_role_id, the current Verify handler does not call the function that applies that field; do not rely on this setting to grant the verified role. Configure the final access role in Verify until that integration changes.
The public Verify button also rejects @everyone, Discord-managed roles, and roles with administrative or moderation permissions. If the configuration contains one, Headless skips it and notifies the member; an administrator must select a safe role in Verify.

Panels and shared module switch

Auto Role also gates self-service selectors and Reaction Roles. off pauses join assignments and interactions for those flows, but keeps their saved rules and panels. Creating a group with group, publishing with panel, or adding a Reaction Role mapping can set enabled back to true; check the module state after those changes. Groups support up to 8 per server and 20 roles per group; see the self-service panel guide for their behavior.
Auto Role’s saved enabled setting is separate from the global switch in Dashboard → Modules. If the global switch is off, join assignments, panels, and Reaction Roles stay paused even when .autorole on enables the configuration.

verified currently saves the selection, but the Verify flow does not apply that field. Do not treat it as an active role grant; assign the final role through the actual Verify settings. Self-service selectors are voluntary, so never include sensitive permissions in those roles.
Note: The initial delay is 2 seconds, and assignment depends on the server’s enabled setting. The bot stores the last assignment error for troubleshooting; Discord permissions and hierarchy still apply.

Dashboard, permissions, and data

In Dashboard → Roles → Auto Role you can edit roles, delay, exempt roles, panel title and copy, media, and groups. Commands use the server’s configured prefix (period by default), and .arole aliases .autorole. You must run them in a server, have Manage Roles, and be the server owner, Headless owner, or a configured Anti-Nuke Admin. Headless also needs Manage Roles; Discord only lets it assign roles below the bot’s highest role. Persistent configuration remains isolated per server in the existing Auto Role store.

Steps

1

Confirm who can manage the module

Make sure your account passes the group authorization and has Manage Roles. Give Headless Manage Roles and place its role above every role it must grant or remove.
2

Configure roles and exemptions

In Dashboard → Roles → Auto Role, choose separate roles for people, bots, and Pending Verify; set the delay and exempt roles. Configure final verification roles in Verify.
3

Enable and test the join event

Run .autorole on and test with an account that joins after the change. Check status with .autorole; existing members are not assigned retroactively.
Group and alias: .autorole / .arole. Without a subcommand, it displays status. Subcommands: on (enable, activar), off (disable, desactivar), human (humans, humano, h), bot (bots, b), pending (pendiente, pend, p), verified (verify, verificado, v), delay (wait, espera, d), panel (sendpanel, selfroles, roles), group (grupo, colors, colores), title (titulo), message (mensaje, msg), thumbnail (thumb), image (banner, imagen), and gif. These are prefix commands, not slash commands.
.autorole off does not delete configuration or panel messages, but the runtime stops processing join assignments, selectors, and reactions while Auto Role is disabled. For human, bot, pending, or verified, omitting the role mention saves an empty value and clears that setting. Do not treat the exempt-channel list as a substitute for an exempt role: the join handler checks member roles, not an event channel.
