Required Bot Permissions

There are some permissions which are needed to ensure that Raid Organizer is working as expected.

Normally those permissions are granted when you invite the bot. But if you:

• Remove permissions on invite
• Restrict the permissions in the server settings
• Or restrict them in a given channel

Raid Organizer might stop working.

note

Discord Channel permissions overwrite all other permissions. So check them out first if you have any issues!

tip

Use the /permission command to check if the bot has all needed permissions.

Required Permissions

Here is a list which permissions are required and why.

General/Event related

Permissions needed for the core features

Permission	Needed for?
View Channel	The bot needs view the channel in which the commands are issued

Embed Links	Event messages are sent in "embeds" and those are counted as "links" by Discord
Add Reactions	To add the sign up emojis to the event messages
Manage Messages	To edit the event messages on sign up/off
Read Message History	Needed to find and edit event messages that are not in the bots cache anymore
Mention @everyone, @here and All Roles	To ping @here in LFG-Channels and to ping roles when using the text property

Event threads related

Permissions needed if you enable threads (/thread enable)

Permission	Needed for?
Create Public Threads	To attach a thread to an event
Send Messages in Threads	To add/remove users to a thread (Sadly needed because Discord enforces those "join"/"leave" messages...)

note

Those permissions need to be granted on a server level!

Permission	Needed for?

Those permissions need to be either granted in the channel category in which the voice channels should be created, or on a server level if you have multiple categories and you do not want to set it in every category.
