# Managing Members & Roles

## The three roles

| Role       | Who                                                                                | What they can do                                                                                                                                                           |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Owner**  | The person who registered the Guild. One per Guild.                                | Everything admins can, plus remove admins and sync the Guild's Discord channels. Can't be removed from the Guild.                                                          |
| **Admin**  | Members holding one of the Discord roles chosen under **Admin Role Discord Sync**. | Change the Guild's settings, remove regular members, use `/setup`, `/guild-settings` and `/guild-permissions`, create Guild Contests and add Discord role rewards to them. |
| **Member** | Everyone else who joined the Guild on RivalRyze.                                   | Appear on the Guild's leaderboards and stats, join Guild Contests, and create Guild Contests when the Guild allows it.                                                     |

{% hint style="info" %}
A Guild role on RivalRyze isn't a Discord role. Being a moderator or even an administrator in your Discord server doesn't make you a Guild Admin, unless your Discord role is one of the roles mapped under **Admin Role Discord Sync**.
{% endhint %}

## Making someone an admin

Guild Admins come from your Discord roles:

1. Open your Guild page → **Settings** → **Access Control**.
2. Under **Admin Role Discord Sync**, pick one or more Discord roles (for example your moderator role).
3. Click **Save Changes**.

Members of your Guild who hold one of those roles become Admins. When someone gets or loses the role in Discord, their Guild role follows. You can also pick the roles in Discord with the **Admin Role Access** menu in `/guild-settings`.

With no roles selected, only the Owner can manage the Guild.

## The Members tab

The **Members** tab on your Guild page lists everyone who joined the Guild on RivalRyze: the Owner first, then Admins, then everyone else. Anyone can view it. For each member you see:

* **Member** and **Role**
* **Activity**: their activity level (**LV**), messages and voice time in your server
* **Member Since**: when they joined the Guild

Use **Search Members** to find someone. Click a member to see their activity in your server in more detail: their rank for messages, voice and overall activity, their totals, a day-by-day activity chart and the channels they're most active in.

Activity details depend on your Guild's privacy settings. See [Guild Settings & Activity Feed](/for-guild-admins/guild-settings.md#privacy).

## Removing a member

Owners and Admins can remove people from the Guild on RivalRyze without touching their Discord membership:

1. On the **Members** tab, click the remove button at the end of the member's row (**Remove from guild**).
2. Confirm with **Remove Member**.

The person leaves your Guild's leaderboards and member list, and can no longer join your Guild Contests. Their RivalRyze account isn't affected.

* Admins can only remove regular members. The Owner can also remove Admins.
* Nobody can remove the Owner, and you can't remove yourself.
* A removed member can join again as long as they're still in your Discord server. To keep someone out, remove them from your Discord server.

## When people leave your Discord server

Leaving, being kicked or being banned from your Discord server removes the person from your Guild on RivalRyze automatically. Departures are never announced in your Activity Feed.

There's no separate "leave Guild" button on the website: a member leaves a Guild by leaving its Discord server.

## New members

People aren't added to your Guild automatically when they join your Discord server. Each member joins themselves with **Join Guild** (in your `#info` channel or on your Guild page), once they have a RivalRyze account with Discord connected. See [Finding and Joining a Guild](/guilds/finding-a-guild.md).

## Discord roles from RivalRyze stats (Linked Roles)

RivalRyze supports Discord's **Linked Roles**: you can make a Discord role require RivalRyze stats, and members who meet them can claim it themselves. Set it up in Discord, on the role's **Links** settings, by adding a requirement from the RivalRyze app. The requirements available:

| Requirement                    | Met when                                                                                                 |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Game Completions**           | The member's game completions are greater than or equal to your number.                                  |
| **Platinum Trophies**          | The member's PlayStation platinum trophies are greater than or equal to your number.                     |
| **Subscription Tier**          | The member's plan equals your number: 0 for Basic, 2 for Supporter, 3 for Legend.                        |
| **Achievement Points Ranking** | The member's global achievement points rank is less than or equal to your number (for example, top 100). |

Members claim the role through Discord's Linked Roles, using the Discord account they connected to RivalRyze. Their stats are sent to Discord when they connect or sign in with Discord, then once a day.

This is separate from **Discord role rewards** on Guild Contests, which the bot hands out to Contest winners. See [Hosting Guild Contests](/for-guild-admins/hosting-guild-contests.md#discord-role-rewards).

## Guild ownership

* The Owner is whoever registered the Guild. Ownership can't be transferred from the website.
* If the Owner deactivates their RivalRyze account, the Guild is hidden with them, and comes back when they reactivate.
* While it's hidden, anyone with owner, **Manage Server** or **Administrator** rights on the Discord server can register the server again through [Initial Setup](/for-guild-admins/initial-setup.md). They become the new Owner and the Guild comes back with its members.

## What Admins can't do

* Change Contest results. Only a Contest's host has its management tab, and results come from the players' game data. See [Hosting Guild Contests](/for-guild-admins/hosting-guild-contests.md#results-and-disputes).
* Change a member's stats, points or Gems.
