  1. Sync members

  1. Members join your CAD community.
  2. Members run /sync in Discord. The bot guides them through account linking if needed.
Mapping changes automatically resync all linked members 5 minutes after your last edit. Finishing the sync may take a little longer. Members receive the combined permissions from their mapped roles. Sync replaces manually assigned and permission-key permissions.
If this community uses Sonoran CMS, configure CAD permissions in CMS. The CAD role mapping editor is disabled for CMS-managed communities.
See the CAD Role sync guide for the full walkthrough.
