Create and manage businesses

Create a business, authorize staff to change its status, and publish a shared status panel in Discord.

Before you begin

  • Complete CoreRP setup and have owner or administrator access to the server in the CoreRP dashboard.
  • Synchronize the text or announcement channel that will contain the status panel. CoreRP needs View Channel, Send Messages, and Embed Links there.
  • Decide whether to authorize staff directly or use an enabled permission group. Direct grants and manually assigned group members need an active CoreRP citizen. Groups can target Everyone, a synchronized Discord role, or selected citizens.
  • To publish the panel, you need Discord's Manage Messages permission and access under the server's generic /admin rules.

Create the business

  1. Open the dashboard, select your Discord server, and go to Module settings → Economy → Businesses.

  2. Under Businesses status channel, select the channel where CoreRP should keep the shared status panel.

  3. Select Add business, then enter the business name. You can configure up to 25 businesses. Keep the name stable: CoreRP also uses it to identify that business's permission scope.

  4. Choose who can change the business status:

    • Employee grants status-management access.
    • Owner also authorizes status actions.
    • Director also authorizes status actions.

    All three permission types authorize /business open, /business break, and /business close. Adding an individual citizen is staged until the module-level Save. Attaching or removing an existing permission group is saved immediately; that group can target Everyone, a synchronized Discord role, or manually assigned citizens.

  5. Use the arrow controls to reorder businesses or the status menu to set Open, Closed, or Break.

  6. Select the module-level Save.

  7. Refresh the page and confirm the channel, business, status, order, and permission counts remain present.

The minus button stages a business for removal. Review the list before selecting Save.

Publish the status panel

Run:

/admin panel panel:Businesses channel:[channel]

The panel option is required; select Businesses. The channel option is optional and defaults to the channel where you run the command. CoreRP updates a recent matching status panel when it can find one; otherwise it publishes a new panel.

Check the status controls

Members authorized as Employee, Owner, or Director can manage the saved business's status. Follow Open, pause, and close a business for the commands and complete staff workflow.

Troubleshooting

  • If CoreRP reports that you lack permission, confirm an Employee, Owner, or Director authorization. Save a direct assignment to an active CoreRP citizen with the module-level Save, or confirm that the attached permission group is enabled and matches Everyone, the member's Discord role, or a manually assigned active citizen.
  • If Discord cannot find the business, confirm that its row remained after refresh and select its exact saved name from autocomplete.
  • If CoreRP rejects another status action, wait for the 60s successful-action cooldown to finish.
  • If a timed break remains on Break after its duration, run /business open and select the business.
  • If the panel is missing, confirm the saved status channel and CoreRP's channel permissions, then publish Businesses with /admin panel.
