Permissions

Understand what permissions Naeris requires and why they are necessary for specific modules to function.

Naeris requires several Discord permissions to operate correctly. While some are fundamental, others are only needed for specific modules like Tickets or Giveaways.

🛡️ Core Permissions

These permissions are generally required for the bot to function at a basic level in any channel.

PermissionUsage
View ChannelAllows the bot to read messages and see channels.
Send MessagesNecessary for the bot to respond to commands and send logs.
Embed LinksMost bot responses use Discord Embeds for a better visual experience.
Read Message HistoryNeeded for the bot to process context and legacy prefix commands.
Use Slash CommandsEssential for interaction with our modern command system.

📦 Module Specific Permissions

Some modules require elevated permissions to perform their tasks.

Moderation

  • Kick Members: To execute the /kick command.
  • Ban Members: To execute the /ban and /softban commands.
  • Moderate Members: Required to use the /timeout command.
  • Manage Messages: Necessary for the /purge command and AutoMod to delete content.

Music

  • Connect: To join your voice channels.
  • Speak: To stream audio in the voice channels.

Tickets

  • Manage Channels: Necessary to create and delete private ticket channels.
  • Manage Roles: Used to set permission overwrites on ticket channels.

⚠️ The Administrator Permission

During the invite process, Naeris might request the Administrator permission.

  • Why?: This is the simplest way to ensure all modules (especially Tickets and Moderation) work without manual permission tweaking.
  • Privacy: Naeris only uses these permissions to execute the commands you or your staff trigger. We do not peek at your private data.

If you prefer not to grant Administrator, you can manually enable specific permissions per channel. However, ensure the bot always has View Channel and Send Messages in every channel you want it to work in.
