I'm setting up a server for an open-source project and would like to better understand how to design role hierarchies and permissions. What's Discord's internal logic for assigning and inheriting permissions between roles? Are there best practices to avoid conflicts when multiple roles grant different permissions? I'd appreciate examples of typical structures and their advantages.
How does Discord's permission and role system work for managing communities?

In practice, how does Discord decide which permission takes precedence when a user has multiple roles that both grant and deny the same permission? Also, is it advisable to create intermediate "read-only" roles to simplify the hierarchy and avoid conflicts?
Could you give a concrete example of how Discord resolves conflicts when a user has multiple roles that grant different permissions, and whether there's any priority rule that applies?
