Permissions and privacy: what NoCap Bots can access

Updated 2 min readView as Markdown

In short

Signing in shares your username, avatar, server list and verified email — never your messages. The bots need only View Channels, Connect and Speak. Anyone with Manage Server can set a server up, and you can take any of it back from Discord.

Signing in with Discord#

You sign in on Discord's own page, so NoCap Bots never sees your password. Discord asks you to share three things:

Discord scopeWhat NoCap Bots uses it for
identifyYour username and avatar, to show who's signed in.
guildsThe servers you're in and whether you can manage each, so the dashboard lists the right ones.
emailYour verified email, only so a server owner can invite you as a manager.

That's all. NoCap Bots can't read your messages or DMs, join servers for you, or post as you — it never asks for those.

What the bots can do#

Bot permissionWhy
View ChannelsTo see the voice channels you pick.
ConnectTo join the callers' channel and your party channels.
SpeakSo the speaker bots can play the call into party channels.

Nothing else: no Administrator, no managing roles or members, no reading messages. The Callout bot's invite also adds its slash commands. For private channels, give the bots' role these three permissions there — see private channels.

Who can set up a server#

  • The server's owner, and anyone with Manage Server or Administrator in Discord, sees it on their dashboard.
  • Whoever sets it up first owns it on NoCap Bots. Another admin can request a transfer.
  • Anyone else needs the owner to invite them as a manager.

Who can do what#

WhoCan
OwnerEverything, including billing and managers.
ManagerWhat the owner allows: configuration, billing or managers — see manager permissions.
Starter roleRun /start and /stop.
Primary and backup caller rolesBe relayed to every party — see voice priority.
Priority SpeakerReach the callers with talk back.
EveryoneRun /status and /ping.

Taking it back#

  1. Sign out

    From the menu under your avatar. That ends the session in this browser.

  2. Remove the app

    In Discord, User Settings → Authorized Apps, remove Callout. It can no longer read your profile or server list.

  3. Remove the bots

    Kick the Callout bot and its speaker bots from your server, or take the permissions away from their role.

  4. Delete your account

    Account → Delete account removes what NoCap Bots stores about you. Cancel any subscription first — see your account.
