## Overview

Did you know Discord had the ability to make a custom emoji only available to certain roles? If you didn't, that is because they don't offer an easy way to use that function. Enter, Emoji Restrictor!

## Example
Here is what a user of your server may see on the Discord's Emoji Picker:

![many emotes](https://serious.garantiertnicht.software/p/398d96e35e3c8ac54b3d56afc27c390573a77084)

With the power of Emote Restrictor, another user may see this:

![not so many emotes](https://serious.garantiertnicht.software/p/797099f2f74ed71d18c87cc436413066031e69a4)

Note that the other user has significantly less emotes? That's what this bot can do.

## Usage
Commands include `add` which allows a role to use the mentioned emojis  and `remove` which removes the role from the whitelist again with the added bonus of `query` to get the roles allowed to use an emote. 

**Admins and the owner are not except from the restrictions.** If you want to keep using the emotes you are restricting, add at least one of your roles to the list of allowed roles.

### Command Examples:
* ``@Emoji Restrictor#6662 add :awesome_emote: `Admins` ``
* `@Emoji Restrictor#6662 query :awesome_emote:`
* `` @Emoji Restrictor#6662 remove :awesome_emote: `Admins` ``

In-chat-help is available with `help` and `help <command>`

## Why we need the permissions we ask for
Trusting things can be hard, so here's what we use the permissions for:
* **Read Messages**: As this bot has commands, we must be able to read them. You can grant this permission on a channel-per-channel basis tho (if you only need it in a bot commands channel, for example)
* **Send Messages**: We also need to answer to these commands. The same thing as above applies.
* **Embed Links**: A huge blob of text doesn't look good. That's why we'd like to use nice embeds. The time it takes to write a separate function to deal with it not being allowed isn't worth it so this is required.
* **Manage Emoji**: We can't say Discord what roles you'd like to whitelist without this permission. Required for the `add` and `remove` commands.
* **Use External Emotes**: In the help command for add, remove and query we show examples. In order to have an emote ready even if you don't have any, we have one set up - on our server. We will only ever use this in help.
* **Create Instant Invite**: This is mainly here for support reasons. If you have a problem it makes it easier to check it out in person if needed. If you would not like any visits from me this can safely be revoked.

**Do not grant this bot any other permissions.** It isn't needed and will only increase the attack surface if the bot ever gets compromised. Giving the bot additional permissions anyways may result in the bot refusing to work.
