Final thoughts
Not all Discord servers are created for the same reasons; some may be used to create a community based around a shared interest, while others may be official spaces for content creators to manage and advertise their work.
Whatever the purpose of your server, choosing a second admin is a big responsibility since that person will be able to delete channels and ban or kick users, and more. So, ensure the person to whom you grant admin permissions is someone you can trust.
Note that as the owner of a Discord server, you do have the ability to revoke admin permissions at any time – something your admin will be aware of. If it isn’t working out, don’t be afraid to take control. In the end, it’s about what’s best for your server.
A lot of work goes into managing a Discord server, and you’ll want to ensure your admin is there to help continue making it a safe, fun and growing space for you and your members.
