The Fake Permissions system allows the Server Owner to grant specific ZEON moderation abilities to roles without giving those roles any actual Discord permissions. This means a role can use ZEON’s .ban command without having Discord’s native “Ban Members” permission.
Server Owner Only: Only the Server Owner can configure fake permissions. This is a security measure to prevent privilege escalation.

​

The following permissions can be individually toggled for each role:

Managing Existing Roles

CommandDescription
.permissions grant <role>Opens the interactive setup panel for a role (creates a new config if one doesn’t exist).
.permissions manage <role>Opens the setup panel for a role that already has fake permissions configured.
.permissions revoke <role>Removes all fake permissions from a specific role.

Fake permissions stack with Discord’s native permissions and bypass the strict Role > Bot hierarchy check.Normally, ZEON requires standard moderators to have a role strictly higher than the bot’s highest role. However, by granting a role Fake Permissions, you allow those users to moderate without needing to place their role above the bot’s role!
