Getting Error assigning bot role: DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions
When my bot does not have the highest position and I attempt a write operation to a role with a higher position, I encounter the above error. Is there any way to change my bot's position to the highest if it's not. My bot has administrator permission and this is the code
assignBotToTopPosition: async (guildId) => {
try {
// Fetch guild and roles with proper scope
const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(guildId);
const roles = guild.roles; // Use guild's roles object
// Check bot role existence and permissions
const botRole = roles.cache.find(
(role) => role.name === DISCORD_BOT_NAME
);
if (!botRole) {
console.error("Bot role not found.");
return;
}
if (!botRole.permissions.has("MANAGE_ROLES")) {
console.error("Bot lacks
MANAGE_ROLES permission.");
return;
}
// Check if already at top
if (botRole.position === 0) {
console.log("Bot role already at top.");
return;
}
// await botRole.setPosition(0); // Move bot role to top
for (const role of roles.cache.filter(
(role) => role.position <= botRole.position
)) {
if (role.id !== botRole.id) {
await role.setPosition(role.position + 1); // Shift other roles down
}
}
console.log("Bot role assigned to top position successfully.");
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error assigning bot role:", error);
}
