+# Discord Roles
+With Discord being one of the main community spaces of the NeoForged project, a proper structure for Discord is needed. This document lays out the roles and administration concepts for the NeoForged Discord server.
+
+## Ownership
+The ownership of the Discord is held by a special account: `@neoforged.admin`. Its credentials can be found in the Vault, accessible by Steering Council members.
+
+## Roles

+### PIM
+PIM stands for Privileged Identity Management. Its main goal is to provide a just-in-time way of giving users permissions when they need it, in a controlled and operational fashion, with or without approval of a second person.
+
+This ensures that roles with extreme rights, which when misused (either through hacking or for personal gain) would harm the server and the community, are not directly accessible via Discord alone.
+
+If an approval is needed for the role, it can only be granted by somebody other than the requester, even if the requester would normally be eligible to approve the role request.
+
+All team members will be eligible for any and all roles exposed via the bot.
+
+#### The PIM Bot
+The pim bot is a special sole purpose bot that can be used by team members to request certain roles. Its command structure is: `/pim <rolename> <reason>`.
+
+Depending on the configuration within the bot, the bot will then either directly assign the requested role to the team member, or ask a specific team for approval.
+
+When the allotted time for the role assignment has passed, the bot will automatically remove the role from the team member. This way there is no way of forgetting to unassign the role, and the risk to the community is minimal.
+
+#### High privilege roles
+There are two high privilege roles:
+- Server manager
+- Role manager
+
+These roles will be assigned for 6 hours maximum and require approval of a Steering Council member.
+
+#### Medium privilege roles
+There is one medium privilege role:
+- Channel Manager
+
+These roles will be assigned for 12 hours maximum and require approval of a moderator.
+
+#### Low privilege roles
+There is one low privilege role:
+- Announcer
+
+This role is assigned for 16 hours maximum and does not require an approval.
+
+### Vanity roles.
+The vanity roles exist so that team members can assign themselves the color they want.
+
+The available colors are the 16 colors from Minecraft, else we will again have a wild mixture of roles.
+
+One last special vanity role is Automation, which marks all bots, and gives them the ability to actually operate on the general public.
