Developer
Account roles explained
Member, Developer and Admin — who can do what, and how ranks are enforced.
Bottly has three account ranks. They are stored server-side and checked on every write, so nothing can be unlocked from the browser.
| Rank | Who has it | Unlocks |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Member | everyone by default | Flow Builder, My bots, buying on the marketplace, balance and plans |
| Developer | granted badge (or any admin) | Code Editor, Storage Center, publishing listings, earnings and payouts |
| Admin | staff only | Admin panel: users, reports, blog, homepage, announcements, codes, countdown, maintenance |
How the check works
Getting the Developer rank
Ask through support or Discord with a short description of what you plan to publish. The badge appears on your public profile at
Example: what a member sees vs a Developer
Losing the rank does not delete anything — your projects and files stay, they just become read-only until it is restored.

How the check works
The browser asks for your rank once and hides the screens you cannot use.
Every server action re-runs the same check. A member calling a Developer-only action gets a plain
403, even with a hand-crafted request.Admin implies Developer — staff can always test the creator flow.
Getting the Developer rank
Ask through support or Discord with a short description of what you plan to publish. The badge appears on your public profile at
/u/your-name and on your marketplace listings, so buyers can see who they are buying from.Example: what a member sees vs a Developer
Member → New bot: [ Flow Builder ]
Developer → New bot: [ Flow Builder ] [ Code Editor ]
Sidebar: + Storage Center, + Publish to marketplace, + Earnings
