# Permissions the bot needs

The exact permissions in the invite link, what each one is used for, and what breaks without it.

## The invite set

The invite link asks for a fixed list, not Administrator. Administrator is still the easiest choice on a server with many channel overrides, because a single denied override on a category can stop ticket creation, but it is not required.

- **View Channels, Send Messages, Send Messages in Threads, Read Message History**: Posting panels, catalogs, welcome messages and replying in tickets.
- **Embed Links, Attach Files**: Every embed, invoice image and transcript file.
- **Add Reactions, Use External Emojis**: Reaction goals and the emoji on buttons.
- **Manage Messages**: /clear, deleting spam, editing posted panels and catalog messages.
- **Manage Channels**: Creating, renaming, locking and deleting ticket channels.
- **Manage Roles**: Granting the verify role and winner roles. The bot role must also sit above those roles.
- **Manage Threads**: Ticket threads and thread cleanup.
- **Create and Manage Expressions**: /addemoji.
- **View Audit Log**: Anti-nuke needs it to see who deleted a channel or banned someone.
- **Kick Members, Ban Members, Moderate Members**: Anti-nuke and anti-spam actions (kick, ban, timeout).

## Role position

Discord only lets a bot manage roles below its own highest role. If verification does not grant the role or a winner role is not given, move the bot's role above them in Server Settings → Roles.

## Channel overrides

A permission granted at server level can be denied on a category or channel. The most common failure is a ticket category where @everyone is denied View Channel and the bot role is not explicitly allowed. The setup checklist and the log channel report these as "missing permission" with the channel name.
