How to Give a Role to New Members (Welcome Role)

With MEE6, you can automatically assign a role to new members when they join your server. This feature is great for giving new members a default role, like "Member," or adding some color to their names to brighten up the server.

How To Set Up a Welcome Role

You will need MEE6 Premium to be able to use the Welcome & Goodbye plugin.
Head to your Server Dashboard → Essentials → Welcome & Goodbye.
Open the plugin page and enable "Give a role to new users" feature.

Once enabled, you can assign a role that will automatically be granted to all new members joining your server. You can add more than one role if needed.

To ensure MEE6 can assign roles, make sure its role is positioned above the roles you want to assign in your server's role hierarchy. Also, ensure the MEE6 role has the "Manage Roles" permission enabled.

Roles are Given Upon Server Rules Acceptance

This option is automatically enabled if you're running a community Discord server.
It requires new members to accept the server's rules before receiving the role.
This preserves Discord’s anti-raid protections, preventing new members from sending messages until they've accepted the rules (this protection is lifted once a role is assigned).
