Fixing Discord Bot Permissions - ensure your bot has the correct role

Showcase

Didn’t see this spelled out simply anywhere so figure I’d add this here for anyone whose looking to fix their discord app (bots) permissions.

Step 1: Follow these steps up to the point you have your Bot connected to your account: https://www.make.com/en/help/app/discord#connect-to-discord-using-oauth2-and-your-own-credentials

THIS ASSUMES YOU HAVE REACHED THE POINT THAT YOU’VE CREATED YOUR APP & BOT & CONNECTED IT TO YOUR DISCORD CHANNEL

Now, if you’re getting permission errors like this:

Than you likely have an Admin role on your channel and you need to add that role to your bot.

To do so is simple:

  1. Click Members icon
  2. Find your bot
  3. add your admin role to the bot to enable permissions that an admin would have for your bot (such as changing user roles)

Cheers!

The admin role could also be added during the connection step at the same time. The link granting roles and permissions can be generated from the discord developer platform.

This is only if you did not do that.
