# Member Management

> Kick members, change nicknames, and manage roles.

## Overview

These commands handle day-to-day member management tasks — removing disruptive users, enforcing nickname policies, and toggling roles. Like all moderation commands in pom, they enforce role hierarchy to prevent misuse.

***

## Kick

Remove a member from the server. Unlike banning, kicked members can rejoin immediately if they have an invite link.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Syntax theme={null}
  ,kick <member> [reason]
  ```

  ```bash Example theme={null}
  ,kick @troublemaker Breaking rules after multiple warnings
  ```
</CodeGroup>

| Parameter | Type         | Required | Description                                    |
| --------- | ------------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `member`  | User mention | Yes      | The member to kick                             |
| `reason`  | Text         | No       | Reason for the kick, recorded in the audit log |

### Safety Checks

* Your highest role must be above the target's highest role
* You cannot kick yourself or the server owner
* pom must have Kick Members permission and a role above the target

<Info>
  You need the **Kick Members** permission to use this command.
</Info>

## Nickname

Change or reset a member's server nickname.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Syntax theme={null}
  ,nick <member> <new_nickname>
  ,nick <member>
  ```

  ```bash Example theme={null}
  ,nick @user Friendly Name
  ,nick @user
  ```
</CodeGroup>

| Parameter      | Type         | Required | Description                                       |
| -------------- | ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `member`       | User mention | Yes      | The member whose nickname to change               |
| `new_nickname` | Text         | No       | The new nickname. Omit to reset to their username |

<Info>
  You need the **Manage Nicknames** permission to use this command.
</Info>

<Tip>
  Run `,nick @user` without a new name to reset their nickname back to their default username.
</Tip>

## Role

Toggle a role on or off for a member. If the member already has the role, it's removed. If they don't have it, it's added.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Syntax theme={null}
  ,role <member> <role>
  ```

  ```bash Example theme={null}
  ,role @user @VIP
  ,role @user @Muted
  ```
</CodeGroup>

| Parameter | Type                 | Required | Description               |
| --------- | -------------------- | -------- | ------------------------- |
| `member`  | User mention         | Yes      | The member to modify      |
| `role`    | Role mention or name | Yes      | The role to add or remove |

<Info>
  You need the **Manage Roles** permission, and the role you're assigning must be below your highest role in the hierarchy.
</Info>

<Tip>
  This is a toggle command — running it twice on the same member removes the role. Use it for quick VIP assignments, color roles, or temporary access grants.
