What are Visibility Modes?

Visibility Modes let you control who can access key features of your server's economy - the shop, leaderboard, and backpack. Each feature can be set independently.

The Three Modes

Everyone (Default) - The feature is fully public. Any member of your server can access it, both in Discord and on the web dashboard.

Moderator Only - The feature is restricted to moderators and administrators. Regular members will see a message telling them the feature is currently restricted. Useful for soft-launching a feature or keeping certain information private.

Disabled - The feature is completely turned off for everyone.

What Can Be Controlled

Shop

How to Configure Visibility Modes

  1. Go to the Points dashboard and click your avatar in the top right, then select Servers
  2. Click on the server you want to configure
  3. Head to Settings and scroll down to find the Shop Visibility, Leaderboard Visibility, and Backpack Visibility cards
  4. For each feature, select Everyone, Moderator Only, or Disabled
  5. Save your changes

Who Counts as a Moderator?

A member is considered a moderator if they:

  • Have the Administrator permission in Discord, or
  • Have been assigned one of your server's configured moderator roles

Server owners always have full access regardless of visibility settings.

Common Use Cases

Running a private economy beta - Set the shop and leaderboard to Moderator Only while you're testing, then switch to Everyone when ready.

Hiding the leaderboard - Some servers prefer not to show point rankings publicly. Set the leaderboard to Disabled or Moderator Only to keep balances private.

Locking down the shop - If you need to pause purchases (e.g. while restocking or adjusting prices), set the shop to Disabled temporarily.

Visibility settings can be changed at any time in your server settings.
