how to check what role a role id is on discord

On Discord, the fastest way to check what a role ID belongs to is to turn on Developer Mode, then right-click the role and copy its ID. If you already have the ID and want to see the role name, paste it into a role lookup context on the server or compare it against the server’s Roles list.

Check the role ID

  1. Open User Settings.
  2. Go to Advanced.
  3. Turn on Developer Mode.
  4. In the server, open Server Settings.
  5. Go to Roles.
  6. Right-click the role and choose Copy ID.

If you only have the ID

  • Go back to the server’s Roles page and match the copied ID to the role entry.
  • In some servers, you can also mention the role and see the ID embedded in the mention format, where the number between <@& and > is the role ID.

Useful note

This is especially helpful for bots, permissions checks, and moderation tools because role IDs are more reliable than role names, which can change.

TL;DR: Enable Developer Mode, open the server’s Roles list, and use Copy ID on the role you want.
