Permissions Reference

Which Discord permission each command category requires.

Last updated on

This is a quick-lookup table of the Discord permission tied to each command area. For the full explanation of how permissions, role hierarchy, and server-level restrictions interact, see Permissions & Access.

PermissionCommand areas
AdministratorServer Backups, /say, /case delete, /strike setup
Manage ServerModule management (/system), mod logging, AutoPurge, conduct config, birthday/counting/board admin, AFK admin
Manage RolesAll of Roles & Access, Voice & Channels setup
Manage ChannelsVoice channel setup, counters, /nuke, /slowmode
Manage Messages/purge, sticky messages, warnings, strikes, notes, history
Ban Members/ban, /unban
Kick Members/kick
Moderate Members/mute, /unmute
None (everyone)Engagement & Games, social interactions, /info, most member-facing Community Tools and Stats commands

If a command isn't behaving as expected, run /system access to check whether a server-level restriction — separate from Discord permissions — is the actual cause.
