Discord Permissions Calculator

What Is the Permissions Integer?

Discord stores permissions as a single number. Each permission is one bit of that number, and the integer above adds up the permissions you select. Invite links pass it in the permissions parameter, so the role of your bot gets exactly these permissions when someone adds it to a server.

Which Permissions Does My Bot Need?

Only ask for the permissions your bot uses. A bot that only answers slash commands needs no permissions at all, because the replies go through the command. A moderation bot needs Kick Members, Ban Members and Moderate Members. Server admins are more likely to add a bot that asks for little.

How Do I Use the Invite Link?

Open the link, choose a server where you have the Manage Server permission and click on Authorize. The bot joins with a role that has the permissions you selected.
