Description

Archiving a guild would freeze it as read-only to everyone including the guild owner. Can be used by the guild owner (in owned guilds) or those with server-wide MANAGE_GUILDS.

  • If invoked by guild owner, guild owner can unarchive.
  • If invoked by MANAGE_GUILDS or OPERATOR from outside that guild, OPERATOR can unarchive.

To archive, send a PUT request to the endpoint. To unarchive, send a DELETE request.
An archived guild has all its mass invites invalidated but users previously joined by those not kicked. User-specific invites remain valid but unusable until unarchived.

Research direction

Start at the /guilds/:id/archive API entry point and review the existing guild permission and invite-handling paths. Implement the specified PUT archive and DELETE unarchive behavior, including owner, MANAGE_GUILDS, and OPERATOR access, then verify archived guild and invite behavior with the relevant tests.
