### A Discord bot for managing ephemeral roles based upon voice channel member presence

----

## Quickstart

1. Click on the `Ephemeral Roles` logo head above or use [this link](https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=392419127626694676&permissions=268435456&scope=bot)
to invite `Ephemeral Roles` into your Discord server
    1. The 'Manage Roles' permission is required.  The invite link above
    provides that by automatically creating an appropriate role in your server
    for `Ephemeral Roles` 
2. Ensure the new role for `Ephemeral Roles` is at the top (or as near as
possible) to the server's list of roles
    1. If you're not sure how or why to do that, take a quick read over
    Discord's excellent [Role Management 101](https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/214836687-Role-Management-101) guide
3. Enjoy!

## What does `Ephemeral Roles` do?

After the `Ephemeral Roles` bot is invited to your Discord server, it
immediately starts to watch for changes to your voice channels.  When a member
joins a channel, `Ephemeral Roles` automatically assigns that member an
*ephemeral role* associated with the channel.  If the *ephemeral role* doesn't
exist yet, `Ephemeral Roles` will create it.

By having your members auto-sorted into *ephemeral roles* in your member list,
it's clear to see who are available for chatting and the channels they are in.
This is because `ephemeral-roles` leverages the Discord feature that the member
list in servers will group together members by role right out of the box.

When a member changes or disconnects from voice channels, even across Discord
servers, `Ephemeral Roles` will account for the change and automatically
revoke/reissue *ephemeral roles* as appropriate.
