Discord Bot Guide

This document explains how to set up and use the Discord bot included with EasyAdmin 6.6 and newer. This bot lets you manage your FiveM server from Discord.

🚀 What is the Discord Bot?

The Discord bot is included with EasyAdmin and does not require external hosting. This is especially useful for:

  • Containerized FiveM setups
  • Hosted servers (e.g., ZAP-Hosting)

🔧 Features

The bot offers the following functionality:

Feature Description
User Actions Kick, Ban, Unban, Mute, Unmute, Freeze, Slap, Warn
Action History View a player's past moderation actions with /history
Admin Notes View admin notes left on a player with /notes
Principals Add/remove Discord users to ACE groups directly from Discord
Live Server Status Player count, admins online, reports, uptime, upvotes
Area Cleanup Remove vehicles, peds, and objects in an area
Player List Full, paginated list (compatible with OneSync)
Player Info View identifiers and other details
Discord ACE Permissions Assign permissions via Discord roles directly to FiveM ACE groups
Chat Bridge Sync chat between Discord and FiveM
Logging Log actions in a dedicated channel

🤖 Creating the Bot User

  1. Go to Discord Developer Apps.
  2. Create a new application.
  3. Under the Bot tab, create a bot user.
  4. Enable all Privileged Gateway Intents (required for the bot to work).

❗ If you don't enable these, you'll get an error like:
Privileged intent provided is not enabled or whitelisted

🔄 Inviting the Bot

Use this link to invite the bot to your server:

1
https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?scope=applications.commands%20bot&permissions=277562354688&client_id=MY_BOT_ID
  • Replace MY_BOT_ID with your bot's Application ID (found in Discord Developer Portal).
  • If you get a 401 error, kick the bot and invite it again using the link.

⚙️ Configuring the Bot

Add the following to your server.cfg to let EasyAdmin log in using the bot:

1
set ea_botToken "your-bot-token-here"
  • Replace your-bot-token-here with the token from the Discord Developer Portal.

Start your server. If the bot logs in successfully, you'll see this in your console:

1
[    script:EasyAdmin] Logged in as BotName#1234!

Check your Discord server to confirm the bot is online.

🧑‍💼 The server owner has all permissions by default. For others, assign permissions manually using easyadmin.bot.

🔐 Configuring Bot Permissions

All bot permissions are grouped under the easyadmin.bot category.

Here's a recommended configuration for regular admins who should not modify permissions:

🔄 Configuring Features

📦 Discord ACE Permissions

You can assign permissions to Discord roles, just like groups in FiveM.

Example:

1
2
add_ace role:604749064436711444 easyadmin allow
add_ace role:604752112227844129 easyadmin.player allow

To make a Discord role inherit permissions from a group:

1
add_principal role:604749064436711444 group.admin

🔄 Permissions sync when a player joins or when they run /refreshperms in Discord.

🔄 Migrating from Other ACE Resources

If you used a third-party ACE resource like DiscordAcePerms, you can replace this:

1
{655500055000, "group.moderator"},

With:

1
add_principal role:655500055000 group.moderator

Add this to server.cfg.

📜 Bot Logging Channel

To set a logging channel:

  1. Copy your Discord channel ID (right-click channel > Copy Channel ID).
  2. Add this to your server.cfg:
1
set ea_botLogChannel "ChannelId"

⚠️ If you set a log channel, the webhook logging will be ignored.

🔄 Log Forwarding

You can forward specific logs to other channels:

1

📊 Live Server Status

To enable the live server status:

  1. Create a read-only channel for the bot.
  2. Set it in your config:
1
set ea_botStatusChannel "ChannelId"

The bot will post and update a live status message with server stats.

💬 Chat Bridge

⚠️ Requires the latest chat resource from cfx-server-data.

To sync chat between Discord and FiveM:

  1. Create a Discord channel for the chat bridge.
  2. Add this to your config:
1
set ea_botChatBridge "ChannelId"
  • Messages sent in that Discord channel will appear in FiveM chat.
  • Messages sent in FiveM chat will appear in the Discord channel.

✅ Done!

You're all set! If you need help with anything, check the EasyAdmin documentation or reach out in the community.

💡 Tip: Always test your bot in a test server before deploying to a live one.
