     - `npm run watch` runs webpack's dev server that automatically reloads on save
     - `npm run build` compiles the dashboard's static files to `dist/` which can then be served with any web server
 
+### Adding configs
+
+There are commands to add new servers and dashboard users, by default the bot has the `!` prefix when
+first starting the bot (see [step 6](#Running-the-backend)). Mentioning the bot in a `@Bot` should also work.
+
+The commands do not work in DMs, see the following for how to use them:
+
+- `!add_server` followed by a server ID, and the first user to add as a dashboard user.
+  For example `!add_server 473085256233123841 106391128718245888`
+
+- `!add_dashboard_user` followed by a server ID and any amount of users to be added.
+  For example `!add_dashboard_user 473085256233123841 347727875266576395 108552944961454080`
+
+- Finally there is `!remove_dashboard_user`, the inverse of `!add_dashboard_user`

 ### Notes
 
 - Since we now use shared paths in `tsconfig.json`, the compiled files in `backend/dist/` have longer paths, e.g.
