Server Owner Visibility

Critical Risk: Visible server owners are prime phishing targets. One compromised click - and your server is gone forever.

</aside>

Server owners who appear in the member list are frequent targets of phishing, account compromise, and social engineering. If an attacker gains access to the owner account, they can take full control of the server.

Solution: Hide the Owner’s Role

1. Go to Server Settings → Roles

2. Create a new role (e.g., Team)

   

3. Disable Display role members separately

   

4. Assign this role to yourself (or to a technical account).

5. Remove all other roles that display the user separately in the member list.

Solution: Hide the Owner Crown

The crown icon appears next to the server owner’s name if they don’t have a role with Display role members separately enabled. While it cannot be completely removed, it can be hidden.

Recommended secure setup:

• Create a separate technical Discord account that holds server ownership.
• This account should not participate in daily communication or moderation.
• Only one trusted person should have access to this account.
