# Staff Commands: Roster, Promotions, LOAs, and Activity

> Reference for Solara's staff commands: view the roster, promote and demote members, submit and approve LOA requests, and check activity.

Solara's staff commands help leadership teams track performance, manage leave requests, and maintain an up-to-date roster.

### /staff list

View the full staff roster, including each member's role, when they joined the staff team, and their current status. Useful for quick headcount checks and onboarding audits.

```bash theme={null}
/staff list
```

***

### /promote

Promote a staff member to a higher role. Provide the member, their new role, and a reason. Solara logs the promotion with a timestamp and the acting moderator.

```bash theme={null}
/promote @user @new-role Reason for promotion
```

**Example:**

```bash theme={null}
/promote @Alex @Senior-Mod Consistently active and excellent community presence
```

***

### /demote

Demote a staff member to a lower role. Like `/promote`, requires the member, their new role, and a reason. The action is logged in Solara's case system.

```bash theme={null}
/demote @user @new-role Reason for demotion
```

***

### /loa

Submit a Leave of Absence request for yourself. Provide the length of time and a brief reason. The request goes to your server's designated approvers for review.

```bash theme={null}
/loa 7d Taking a vacation
```

<Note>LOA duration uses the same shorthand as other commands: `1d`, `7d`, `14d`, and so on. After submitting, your request appears in the approver queue.</Note>

***

### /loa approve

Approve a pending LOA request from a staff member. Once approved, Solara records the leave period and can optionally assign an "on leave" role if one is configured.

```bash theme={null}
/loa approve @user
```

<Tip>Configure an "on leave" role in the dashboard so approved staff are visually marked and skipped in activity checks during their leave period.</Tip>

***

### /activity

Check a staff member's activity over a given time period, including message count, voice time, and commands used. Omit the user argument to view a server-wide activity heatmap instead.

```bash theme={null}
/activity @user 30d
/activity
```

<Note>The server-wide heatmap shows activity broken down by day and hour, helping you identify when your team is most and least active.</Note>
