Helios Rust Console Bot Documentation

Discord Owner Setup for Rust Console Servers

Required Discord channels, roles, and launch checklists before enabling Helios modules.

Page Summary

This page covers owner/admin Discord setup for the Helios Rust Console bot.
It is for server owners who need role boundaries and channel structure before launch.
Complete this before server connection setup (WebRCON) and feature setup.

Overview

Owner setup decides who can run Helios commands and where bot messages should go.

Who This Is For

Server owners
Head admins implementing owner policy

Requirements

Administrator access for owner account
Ability to create roles and channels
Final staff list for owner, admin, and moderator teams

Setup

1. Create Core Channels

Channel	Purpose	Recommended Visibility
`#helios-ops`	Admin and owner command execution	Owner + Admin only
`#helios-alerts`	Critical alerts, raid pings, failures	Owner + Admin + Moderator
`#killfeed`	Public or staff kill feed output	Community or staff based on policy
`#player-feed`	Join and leave events	Moderator + Admin
`#helios-audit`	Manual notes for wipes and destructive actions	Owner + Admin only

2. Create Staff Roles

Role	Permission Target	Notes
Owner	`Administrator`	Keep membership small
Admin	`Manage Server`	Daily server management and module setup
Moderator	Read-heavy command scope	No billing or wipe control

3. Configure Link Roles

Use /set link-role to assign the default role granted on /link.

4. Set Notification Channels

Configure feed targets with /dcfeed add, /dcplayerfeed add, and /set raid-channel.

Commands or Controls

/set link-role
/dcfeed add
/dcplayerfeed add
/set raid-channel

Example Use Case

Owner creates #helios-ops, grants Manage Server to admins only, and keeps Administrator restricted to owners before any server connection is attempted.

Common Issues

Too many members hold Administrator.
Feed channels are created but Helios cannot send embeds.
No dedicated audit channel for wipe and premium actions.

Tips / Best Practices

Review role membership every wipe cycle.
Keep all premium and wipe actions in a dedicated owner approval process.
Document your final channel and role IDs in an internal runbook.

First-Time Setup Checklist

Owner/admin/mod roles created
#helios-ops created and locked down
Feed channels created with send/embed permissions
