How to Set Up Auto Roles on Discord (Step-by-Step Guide)
🚀 Want to Automate Your Discord Server?
Auto roles help welcome new members and assign them roles automatically — no need for manual clicks! In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up auto roles on Discord in just a few minutes.
🔑 What Are Auto Roles on Discord?
Auto roles are roles that get assigned automatically to new members when they join a server. These roles can be:
- Default roles (like “Member”)
- Reaction roles
- Roles assigned by bots
They’re commonly used in:
- Community servers
- Gaming guilds
- Support channels
- Fan or NFT communities
🧩 Requirements
- Admin or Manage Roles permission
- A bot like Dyno, Carl-bot, or MEE6
(Discord doesn’t support auto roles natively — you need a bot!)
🛠️ How to Set Up Auto Roles with Dyno Bot
1. Invite Dyno to Your Server
Go to dyno.gg → Log in → Select your server → Click “Add Bot”.
2. Enable the “Auto Role” Module
- Go to Dyno Dashboard
- Select Modules
- Enable Auto Roles
3. Configure Auto Role
- Click on Auto Roles in the left sidebar
- Choose the role you want to auto-assign
- Set the delay (if needed)
✅ Done! New members will now receive that role automatically.
🛠️ Alternative: Using MEE6
1. Go to mee6.xyz
2. Log in and select your server
3. Enable the “Moderator” plugin
4. Head to the “Welcome” section
- Toggle on “Give a role to new users”
- Select the role to assign
📌 Note: MEE6 sometimes limits this to premium features.
💡 Tips for Managing Auto Roles
- Use different roles for bots vs real users.
- Don’t assign admin or moderator roles automatically!
- Combine auto roles with reaction roles for better control.
