Appointing and revoking matchmakers

• Anyone with the Manage Server permission (the server owner included): does everything a matchmaker does without being appointed. Unless you appoint them too, they do not appear in the Current matchmakers list.
• Appointed members: people an admin appoints with the steps in this page. They do not gain Manage Server.
• Everyone else: cannot open the console's match screens. They follow the matches they are invited to on the member screens.

• A Discord account with the Manage Server permission
• A bot with in-house matches turned on. When it is off, the matchmaker commands and the appoint panel do not show.
• The member to hand it to. Only people in this server can be appointed.

The bot does not tell the member when you appoint them. Let them know yourself. From the next time they open it, they can use the match screens. Tell them how to open the match screen too (see the “Where a matchmaker opens the match screen” box below).

• Create matches: build the teams and send invites on the Matches screen. (Team balance, lanes and positions)
• Take their own matches to the end: move the stages, change teams, confirm a result or cancel. (Run a match, step by step)
• Review no-shows on their own matches. (No-shows, marks and MVP)
• Register, pause and delete recurring schedules. Any matchmaker can manage any schedule, not only the ones they created. (Recurring matches and time polls)
• The Share card row on a match with a confirmed result shows to every matchmaker, even on matches others created. The Announce highlight button works on their own matches only. (Share cards and result cards · Server settings at a glance)

• Manual-entry review: approve or reject the games members entered by hand (played outside the match flow) on the Manual records screen. (Confirm a result and enter records)
• Ban/pick: start practice sessions and press a captain's turn for them in a match. (Ban/pick and Fearless · Ban/pick and Fearless)
• Squads: create, invite, remove and disband. Any matchmaker can manage any squad. (Squads (fixed teams))
• The ⚔️ button on a temporary room's panel: gives you a link to the team builder filled with the people in that room. No match is created yet.

• The Admin console button on Home and the Create match button on the server home show only to people with Manage Server. A matchmaker without it does not see either.
• There are two first-time ways in. The ⚔️ button on a temporary room's panel (the room needs at least 2 people) gives a link to the team builder. Or an admin sends them the address of the web console's Matches screen (open the Matches menu in the console and copy the address from the address bar).
• After that, the bot's notification DMs carry console links too: the stage nudge DM, the poll deadline DM and the AI summary DM. When the nudge DM goes out is in Run a match, step by step. What to tell a matchmaker who sees no console button is in The console is locked or commands are missing.

• The matches stay as they are. They are not cancelled or handed over, and the creator's name stays.
• The match screens no longer open for the revoked person: they see the Access denied page (403) instead. Someone with Manage Server takes the match from there.
• The sub-needed DM sent when a member withdraws after the lineup is confirmed still goes to the match creator after revocation. They can no longer open the console, so someone with Manage Server needs to arrange the sub.
• The nudge DM that goes to the creator when a match sits too long at one stage goes to the server owner once the creator can no longer manage it.
• Recurring schedules they created keep creating matches. Switch the schedule off to stop it.

Old audit rows are deleted automatically: 30 days by default and 180 days on servers with Premium (Compare plans and free-tier limits). Note down anything you need to keep longer.

• The Select a member… box lists only people the bot has recorded as members of this server. Members who are already appointed and people who left are left out.
• If they are still missing, appoint them with the /matchmaker grant command. The command lets you pick any member of this server.
• If there is nobody to appoint at all, you see “No members available to assign.”.

• If you saw “Please try again in a moment”, nothing was saved. Press the button again in a moment. The reason, and what to do if it keeps happening, is in The console is locked or commands are missing.
• Check by looking for the member in the Current matchmakers list. If they are there, it was saved.

• The Admin console button on Home shows only for people with Manage Server. A matchmaker opens the screen with the ⚔️ button on a room panel, the address of the Matches screen an admin sent them, or the link in a match DM.
• Check that the member is in this server and that the Discord account they log in with is the one you appointed. Someone who is not in this server cannot open it.
• A match whose buttons do nothing may be someone else's. A matchmaker can press only the matches they created.

That member was already revoked or never appointed. People with Manage Server work as matchmakers without being appointed, so there is nothing to revoke. To take that permission away, change their role in Discord.

Appointing and revoking are saved whatever the bot's Discord permissions are. If match DMs or rooms fail, that is a bot-permission matter: check it with the /admin check-permissions command in The server permissions Kletoi needs. If you cannot see the slash command, first check that your account has Manage Server.
