Overview

Server settings control how Kao behaves in a specific Discord server. Use them to adjust command access, notifications, community announcements, presets, and bot presentation.

​
Open server settings

  1. Go to Servers.
  2. Select a server.
  3. Open Settings.
  4. Choose the tab you want to update.

​
Bot settings

Bot settings can include:
  • Bot nickname or presentation options
  • Command access mode
  • Roles allowed to use commands
  • Import acknowledgement behavior
Some BYOB setups also show bot presence controls so you can choose the activity text Discord displays for that bot.

​
Command access

Command access controls who can use Kao’s Discord slash commands in the server.
Dashboard access and Discord command access are related but not identical. Review shared server access if teammates also use the dashboard.

​
Staff notifications

Staff notifications send operational updates to a Discord channel. Common categories include:
  • Imports
  • Rotations
  • Syncs
  • Warnings
  • Changelog updates
Choose a channel, select the categories you want, and save.

​
Community announcements

Community announcements share public-facing updates with your members, such as new emotes or refreshed rotations. You can enable announcements for:
  • Emote added
  • Rotation refreshed
  • Collection synced
If your plan includes white-label options, you may also be able to customize announcement name, avatar, accent color, and attribution.

​
Presets

Presets let you save server settings and apply them again later. Use presets when:
  • You manage several similar servers.
  • You want a known-good notification setup.
  • You are testing changes and want an easy way back.
Applying a preset can replace current server settings. Save the current setup first if you may need it again.
