Admin commands
Some of Sprinto’s commands need a Sprint MC MC Sprint MCs and Sprint Admins only. A Sprint MC is anyone with a role named Sprint MC. Sprint Admins can do everything a Sprint MC can. or a Sprint Admin Admin Sprint Admins only. A Sprint Admin is the server owner, anyone with the Administrator or Manage Server permission, or anyone with a role named Sprint Admin. . Sprint Admins can do everything a Sprint MC can, and can also change Sprinto’s settings.
Who counts as a Sprint Admin or Sprint MC
- Sprint Admin Admin Sprint Admins only. A Sprint Admin is the server owner, anyone with the Administrator or Manage Server permission, or anyone with a role named Sprint Admin. : the server owner, anyone with the Administrator or Manage Server permission, or anyone with a role named @Sprint Admin.
- Sprint MC MC Sprint MCs and Sprint Admins only. A Sprint MC is anyone with a role named Sprint MC. Sprint Admins can do everything a Sprint MC can. : anyone with a role named @Sprint MC, and every Sprint Admin.
Role names Sprinto accepts
Sprinto finds these roles by their names, in any capitalization. The name must be one of these:
- Sprint Admin: Sprint Admin, SprintAdmin, Sprint Admins, SprintAdmins, Sprinto Admin, SprintoAdmin, Sprinto Admins, SprintoAdmins
- Sprint MC: Sprint MC, SprintMC, Sprint MCs, SprintMCs, Sprinto MC, SprintoMC, Sprinto MCs, SprintoMCs
A role with anything else in its name, such as “Sprint Admin Team” or “Sprint-Admin”, doesn’t count. This rule is stricter than the one for the Active Sprinters role, whose name only has to start with “Active Sprint”.
To see which roles Sprinto found on your server, run /settings roles .
What a Sprint MC can do
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| /cancel-please | End a sprint at once, even with other people in it. As text: @Sprinto cancelplease, cancel-please or cancelpls. |
| /nudge-please | Move a stuck sprint on to its next step. |
| /go | Start the waiting sprint now. The person who started the sprint can do this too. |
lock | Add lock to a /sprint to start a locked sprint, which only a Sprint MC can cancel. |
| ✅ or ❌ in a vote to cancel | A Sprint MC’s ✅ cancels the sprint straight away, and their ❌ ends the vote. |
| /admin-forget-user | Stop pinging one person at the start of sprints in this channel. |
@Sprinto pinguser | Turn on pings for one person. |
For details, see Sprint (admin) for the sprint commands and Ping me for the ping commands.
Someone who isn’t a Sprint MC gets a refusal, for example “Sorry, you need a Sprint MC or Sprint Admin role to do that.” For /cancel-please on a sprint that other people have joined, the reply is:
/cancel-please. You can’t force-cancel an active sprint when it has other participants. /cancel to vote to end it.What a Sprint Admin can do
Everything a Sprint MC can do, and also:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| /settings | Change any setting: channel, server, ping roles, sprint channels, sprint defaults and the emoji theme. See Settings. |
| /admin-forget-all-users | Stop pinging everyone at the start of sprints in this channel. See Ping me. |
| Apps → Clean up these results | Take a quote off sprint results that are already posted. See Remove or report a quote. |
| /create-active-role , /refresh-active-role | Set up the Active Sprinters role, and give it to or take it from the right people. Anyone with the Manage Roles permission can use these too. See Active Sprinter role. |
Create the roles
Sprinto never creates the @Sprint MC or @Sprint Admin roles. Create them in Discord the same way as any other role, and give them to the people you choose.
Both roles are optional: sprints run without anyone holding either role. On a small server you might create the @Sprint MC role and give it to everyone, so everyone can cancel sprints.
Sprinto has only these two levels. You can’t give a role permission for single commands. If you need a more specific role for your server, use /feedback and tell me about your situation.
Commands that need “please”
Several Sprint MC commands need “please”, as in /cancel-please . Instead of “please” you can use “pls”, “thanks”, “merci” and other words. Some commands anyone can use need “please” too, for example setting your word count to a negative number.
