Slash default override

Kettu by default lets users use both text or slash commands. Text commands respects slash command permissions (server settings -> Integrations -> Kettu) as if they were slash commands. When slash default override is enabled it allows you to disable the @everyone permission without affecting text commands. This allows users to use text commands while effectively disabling slash commands.

Lets break that down

What does disabling @everyone do? It removes the ability for users to use (and see) slash commands unless there is another override that overrides it. If you were to disable @everyone without enabling slash default override it would prevent any users from using text or slash commands unless they have admin permissions. Enabling this however lets text commands ignore this permission and continue to operate normally.

What about all the other overrides? How are they affected? Enabling slash default override only affects the @everyone permission meaning that any other overrides will still be respected by text commands.

Lets make an example, if you add a channel override in the hug command for #the-ultimate-hugging-zone and an override disabling All Channels the hug command will only be able to be used in the ultimate hugging zone.

If a user tries running the command in another channel they will be greeted with an error.

This approach lets you fine tune your commands to suit your needs natively in Discord while still allowing you to hide slash commands from users.

Other things to note

• Users with the Administrator permission will always be able to see and use slash commands in all channels. There is no easy or effective way around this.

• You can still allow slash commands to be used if you enable @everyone in the command directly.
