Discord ACE Permissions

EasyAdmin supports mapping Discord roles to FiveM ACE permission groups. This allows Discord roles to grant server permissions automatically.

How It Works

When a player connects to the server, EasyAdmin reads their Discord roles and applies the matching ACE permissions. Permissions sync:

• When a player connects to the server (before they spawn)
• When a member runs /refreshperms in Discord
• When a member’s Discord roles change

This needs the Discord bot to be set up (ea_botToken) and present in the same Discord server as the member. See Bot Setup.

Granting Permissions

Use add_ace with the role: principal type:

Replace the role ID with the actual Discord role ID (right-click the role in Discord, Copy Role ID).

Inheriting from Groups

To make a Discord role inherit from an existing FiveM group:

This makes the Discord role behave as if the player is a member of group.admin, inheriting all permissions assigned to that group.

Migrating from Other ACE Resources

If you previously used a third-party ACE resource like DiscordAcePerms, replace the old format:

With the EasyAdmin format in server.cfg:

Getting Role IDs

1. In Discord, enable Developer Mode (User Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode).
2. Right-click the role and select Copy Role ID.

Permission Priority

FiveM’s ACE system follows two rules:

• A deny always wins. If any allow and any deny apply to a permission, it is denied.
• A parent permission covers everything below it. Granting easyadmin.player also grants easyadmin.player.kick, and denying easyadmin.player denies easyadmin.player.kick too.

Because a deny on a broad permission blocks all of its children, a narrower allow cannot win it back:
