Checking permission to create channels/roles

I have a command which can create a channel and/or role so I have code to ensure the bot has the correct permission to do so as shown below:

    public static async canCreateChannel(guild: Guild): Promise<boolean> {
        let botMember = await guild.members.fetchMe();

        if (!botMember) return false;

        return botMember.permissions.has(PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels);
    }

    public static async canCreateChannel(guild: Guild): Promise<boolean> {
        let botMember = await guild.members.fetchMe();

        if (!botMember) return false;

        return botMember.permissions.has(PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels);
    }

    public static async canCreateChannel(guild: Guild): Promise<boolean> {
        let botMember = await guild.members.fetchMe();

        if (!botMember) return false;

        return botMember.permissions.has(PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels);
    }

    public static async canCreateChannel(guild: Guild): Promise<boolean> {
        let botMember = await guild.members.fetchMe();

        if (!botMember) return false;

        return botMember.permissions.has(PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels);
    }

After I check this I then proceed to create the channel as shown in the screenshot.

For the majority of servers this seems to work, but for some reason I still get some errors in my logs for

npm list discord.js

npm list discord.js

and node

node -v

node -v

version?

StqlthOP•6/28/23, 7:45 PM

you guys should let normal members use reactions in forums

@qjuh are you certain this is the case? I just tested where my Bot only had 4 permissions: View ChannelsView Channels, Manage RolesManage Roles, Manage ChannelsManage Channels and Send Messages & Create PostsSend Messages & Create Posts while the @everyone@everyone role had all permission turned off, but the bot can still make a channel with the overrides I have listed above

StqlthOP•6/28/23, 10:59 PM

Also, I can confirm this also happens for the when creating a role

StqlthOP•6/28/23, 10:59 PM

so I know the only issue, if it is one, can't be the overrides
