The Sonoran Bot offers automated permission syncing by "mapping" CMS ranks to Discord roles.
There are several different cases where these permissions are continually synced.
When a user newly links their Discord account in the CMS:
CMS requests all existing Discord roles that the user has
CMS adds all associated "mapped" CMS ranks based on existing Discord roles
CMS removes the Discord link from any other CMS accounts
When a user has their Discord account unlinked from their CMS account:
CMS removes all associated "mapped" ranks
Bot removes all associated "mapped" roles
This ensures a user cannot unlink their Discord account from CMS prior to a ban, and keep their Discord roles.
When a user joins the CMS community:
CMS checks for a linked Discord account
CMS requests all existing Discord roles that the user has
CMS adds all associated "mapped" CMS ranks based on existing Discord roles
When a user leaves the CMS community:
CMS removes all ranks for the user
CMS informs the bot of a user leaving the CMS community
Bot removes all associated "mapped" Discord roles
When a user is banned in the CMS community:
CMS removes all ranks for the user
CMS informs the bot of a user ban
Bot removes all associated "mapped" Discord roles
If ban sync is enabled, bot will ban user in any remaining guilds
When an account joins a Discord Guild:
Bot requests any existing CMS ranks the user has
Bot applies any associated "mapped" roles from the existing CMS ranks
When an account leaves a Discord Guild:
If kick on leave is enabled
The user will be kicked from the CMS
The user will be kicked from any remaining Discord Guilds
Bot checks for remaining "mapped" roles in any other linked Discord Guilds
Any mapped ranks in remaining other Discord Guilds will remain unchanged
Any mapped ranks that no longer remain in any Discord Guild will be removed
When a new Discord role is added to a user:
Bot informs the CMS of the new role
The associated "mapped" rank is applied in CMS
When a Discord role is removed from a user:
Bot informs the CMS of the role removal
The associated "mapped" rank is removed in CMS
When a user runs the /sync command in a Discord Guild:
Bot requests all existing CMS ranks the user has
Bot applies any associated "mapped" roles from the existing CMS ranks
Bot informs CMS of any existing Discord roles the user has
CMS adds any associated "mapped" roles from the existing Discord roles
A manual sync will never result in any role or rank removal. It will only "complete" any missing pieces to the mapping.
When a user is kicked from a Discord Guild:
If kick on leave is enabled
The user will be kicked from the CMS
The user will be kicked from any remaining Discord Guilds
Bot checks for remaining "mapped" roles in any other linked Discord Guilds
Any mapped ranks in remaining other Discord Guilds will remain unchanged
Any mapped ranks that no longer remain in any Discord Guild will be removed
When a user is banned from a Discord Guild:
If ban sync is enabled
The user will be banned from the CMS
The user will be banned in any remaining Discord Guilds
Bot checks for remaining "mapped" roles in any other linked Discord Guilds
Any mapped ranks in remaining other Discord Guilds will remain unchanged
Any mapped ranks that no longer remain in any Discord Guild will be removed
