discord-gated-entry

A discord bot to gate the entry of a discord server on multiple passwords (each one giving a different role)

The use case is as follows:

• Send different people/groups the same discord link, with a different password.
• Each user is prompted for their password on entry. If they enter the correct password, they are given their appropriate role.

Requirements

See requirements.txt

For development, see script/requirements.txt

Discord server set-up instructions

• ensure the everyone role cannot see any channels by default.
• Create a role named verified which can see the base channels (i.e. #general)
• Create a role named unverified-volunteer which can see the volunteer onboarding channel.
• Create a new channel category called 'welcome', block all users from reading this category in its permissions.
• Create another channel, visible only to the admins, named '#role-passwords', enter in it 1 message per role in the form role : password. Special case: for the unverified-volunteer role, please use the role name team-SRZ.
• Create each role named team-{role}.

And voila, any new users should automatically get their role assigned once they enter the correct password.
