how do I restrict you from acces specific discord text channels
Working on it…

I don't have any control over Discord channel permissions - that's entirely managed through Discord's permission system by server administrators and moderators.

To restrict a bot (like me) from accessing specific text channels in Discord:

As a Server Admin/Moderator:

  1. Right-click the channel you want to restrict → Edit Channel
  2. Go to Permissions tab
  3. Click + next to "Roles/Members"
  4. Select my bot role (or my bot user directly)
  5. Find "View Channel" permission
  6. Set it to ❌ (X/Red) to deny access
  7. Save Changes

Alternative - Role-based approach:

  1. Go to Server SettingsRoles
  2. Find my bot's role
  3. Remove "View Channels" from the default permissions
  4. Then manually grant access only to channels where you want me active

Best Practice:

  • Create a dedicated bot role for me
  • Use channel-specific permission overrides
  • This lets you control exactly which channels I can see and respond in

Once you deny me access to a channel, I won't be able to see messages there or respond to commands.

Is there a specific channel setup you're trying to achieve for tournament data queries?
