🛠️Setting Up

Made with ❤️ by Pandez and his Pandez Labs team

Invite the bot here: shield.pandezlabs.com

It's free!

You need a role with the Administrator or Manage Server permissions to invite the bot to your server. If you don't have a role with either of those permissions, please ask the server owner to give you one.

Always verify you are inviting the bot from our official links.

The bot is Pandez Shield#0884 and is verified.

The bot requires Administrator permissions.

Server owner account

For the best protection, we advise using a separate Discord account to hold ownership of your Discord server.

This account should never interact with any links, accept friend requests, DMs, etc. It should ideally be only used in a separate device that you only have for this purpose.

Having a separate server owner Discord account stands a far lesser risk of being compromised.

Role order

Pandez Shield manages permissions for all your staff roles. Pandez Shield must be the highest role in your role settings to work properly and to prevent any permission issues later on.

Setting up 2FA

Before being able to use any commands with Pandez Shield, you must setup 2FA on your account. Use the /2fa command and follow the on-screen instructions.

This will be a different 2FA code than your Discord account one.

Pandez Shield will never ask you for your Discord account's 2FA code, only the one you setup using the bot.

Setting up role permissions

This action can only be performed by the server owner or a bot master

Use the /settings command and click on the "Role Permissions" button to configure permissions for each of your roles.

1. Click on the role you would like to configure from the dropdown menu.

2. Click on the permission you would like to configure from the dropdown menu.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

You can remove any Discord role permissions/channel overrides after setting up the permissions on the bot (e.g. Remove the "Mention @everyone permission" from the roles/channels that have them, and only use the /mention command through the bot.)

Example

Giving a role permission to post announcements

This permission is called "Mention" since it allows the role to mention @everyone, @here and any other roles in the server, but it also let's the role type in the channel after authentication.

Before we start:

• Make sure the announcements channel is read-only for everyone, even the role that will be posting announcements in it.

• Make sure the role doesn't have the "Mention @everyone, @here..." permission in the role permission settings.

Setup:

1. Use the /settings command

2. Click on "Role Permissions"

3. Click on the role you want to give this permission to from the dropdown menu

4. Click on the permission you would like to configure from the dropdown menu, in this case, "Mention"

5. Click on "Update Permission"

6. Select the channels the role will be able to post announcements in

7. Click on "Continue"

Now members with that role will be able to use the /mention command to authenticate themselves through 2FA, and gain access to post announcements in specific channels.

For premium users:

By default, the link filter (automod) is turned on. You can allow roles to post links in /settings.

To add permits for channels and bots, see Setting up permits

Changing the security level

This action can only be performed by the server owner or a bot master

Use the /settings command, click on the "Security" button and then the "Security Level" button.

There are 4 security level options:

• Low (24h)

• Medium (12h)

• High (1h)

• Extreme (Always)

Changing the security level changes how often a user will be asked to authenticate themselves when running commands.

e.g. Changing the security level to High (1h), means that users will not be asked to enter their 2FA code again within the hour after authenticating.

For the best protection, we advise keeping this setting to the default level: Extreme (Always).

Setting up log channels

Log channels can be configured for specific Pandez Shield actions.

For now, the only logs sent by Pandez Shield to a specific channel, are logs for the deleted links by the link filtering module.

When a link is sent by an unauthorized member, the link will be deleted and logged into a channel of your choice.

Use the /settings command, click on "Log Channels" and follow the instructions.

Setting up permits

Use the /settings command, click on "Permits" and then the type of permit you would like to set up. Follow the instructions sent by the bot.

Example

Add a link filter bypass

For channels:

To allow links to be sent to a channel, use the /settings command, click on "Permits" and then "Link Filter Bypass".

Select the "Channels" option and then "Set Permit".

Select a channel mode, a link mode and you're done!

For bots:

To allow links to be sent by bots, use the /settings command, click on "Permits" and then "Link Filter Bypass".

Select the "Bots" option and then "Set Permit".

Select a channel mode, a link mode and you're done!
