Here is a summary of the text in 1 paragraph: Discord roles are groups that sort server members into, determining their appearance and privileges. They can be customized with various settings such as role color, icon, channel access, and app permissions. Roles can also have special display rules, such as showing up separately from online members or being able to @mention them in messages. The Permissions tab allows for setting specific roles' access to channels, voice channels, apps, stage channels, events, and advanced settings like Administrator mode. Linked roles associate certain roles with outside app connections, while the Manage Members tab lets users view and manage role members, add new members, and assign roles. By using Discord roles effectively, community managers can automate their everyday operations, such as creating separate channels for different roles, setting up rules screening processes, letting server members choose their channels and roles, building discussion channels for admins, tagging specific roles in messages, managing bot and integration permissions, and offering unique Server Subscription perks.
