Frequently asked questions

Does SkullBot need the Administrator permission?

Not for the dashboard modules: they need only the permissions of what you enabled, and Module status shows which are missing. The exceptions are the /kick and /mute commands, which check for Administrator. The full list is in the permissions document.

Why can I not see my server in the dashboard?

The dashboard lists servers where the bot is present and where you have Administrator or Manage Server. Add the bot or ask the owner for the permission.

How do I change the bot language?

In the dashboard: Settings tab, Bot language module. The language is set separately for every server.
