In-depth look into the permissions that Quark requires
Overview
Permissions are complicated. Very complicated. And messing them up can cause stuff to go very wrong. This page goes over all the permissions that Quark requires for each of its features. This allows you to only grant the permissions Quark needs for the features that your server is using.Granting Quark the Administrator permission will prevent any issues caused
by permissions, and allow new features to work automatically.
This page is about the permissions that Quark requires in order to function.
For information on the permissions that a user is required to have in order to run commands,
see the commands page.
ADMINISTRATOR. For a simple setup, you can just deselect the ADMINISTRATOR permission
and Quark will still function correctly.

Logs
Minimum Permissions
All the permissions on this page also assume that Quark has the following basic set of permissions where appropriate.Required
| Permission | Note |
|---|---|
VIEW_CHANNEL | Required for channels Quark should log (e.g. message events, voice events, channel events) |
SEND_MESSAGES | Required for Quark to send messages in the channels it logs to |
EMBED_LINKS | Required for Quark to send embeds in the channels it logs to |
SEND_MESSAGES_IN_THREADS | Required for Quark to send messages in the channels it logs to |
These permissions only need to be granted in the channels where Quark should be
able to access. It is perfectly fine to remove the
VIEW_CHANNEL for private channels
which you do not want Quark to log, for example.Optional
USE_EXTERNAL_EMOJIS
Although the below permissions may be marked as not required, this means the log
will still be sent even if Quark does not have the permission. However, the log may be
missing some information or may not be as detailed as it could be.
If Quark is not able to determine who carried out an action, the ignore options
for users will not work.
