Permission needed for permissionOverwrite method

Hi, I'm developing a bot for my server, so I let it have Admin permission. However I want my friend test my bot as well, but he doesn't want a bot with Admin, so I'm figuring out what permission I need for my bot to operate. I tried checking all the permission but admin, and I got this error:
./node_modules/@discordjs/rest/dist/index.js:722
      throw new DiscordAPIError(data, "code" in data ? data.code : data.error, status, method, url, requestData);
            ^

In my code, I have a custom mute command that changes the user's permission so they just cannot send messages, which I used "channel.permissionOverwrites.create(...)", but then this line caused the error. But it didn't have this error when I gave it admin permission. Is there any way to prevent this without granting it admin perm?
P/s: In my OAuth2, I set the scope to application.commands & bot, and all permissions except admin.
