how to know if the user have administrator permission in latest version

[plaraje]

Hi, djs changed a lot since i stopped making bots, now that im back a lot of thinks changed and i dont find the way to check if msg.member have "ADMINISTRATOR" permissions

I think you can use msg.member.permissions.has("ADMINISTRATOR");
in the try catch to do this. I don't know why this command now shows the error RangeError [BitFieldInvalid]: Invalid bitfield flag or number: ADMINISTRATOR, but if try catch it still partially handles this.

You need to use https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/PermissionsBitField?scrollTo=s-Flags instead of string ADMINISTRATOR. The try and catch will just ignore the admin check lol

I only show how to check in case of true, and if there is an error, oh no sorry lol. Also thank you for sharing more

ok thanks i'll try

I did some research and found a way you can use and give me feedback.
const raw = msg.guild.members.fetch(msg.author.id).then((rel) => { return rel }); const checkAdmin = () => { raw.then((member) => { if (member.permissions.has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageGuild)) { ... } else{ ... } }) }; checkAdmin();

yeah, no:
msg.guild.members.fetch(msg.author.id) obsolete, prefer message.member
.then((rel) => { return rel }) does absolutely nothing, as the promise returned is resolved and wrapped in a promise again.
I have no idea why you suddenly pull out an arrow function or use ManageGuild, which wasn't the question, to begin with.

For base permissions (guild level, default role and any roles the member might have):

message.member.permissions.has(PermissionFlagsBits.Administrator);

For permissions after channel overwrites:
https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/permissions.html#permissions-after-overwrites

If using command interactions, you can get the permissions of the member executing the command after overwrites through
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/14.3.0/class/CommandInteraction?scrollTo=memberPermissions instead. Checking for the flag works exactly the same as above.

You can find more information on Permissions in general in our guide at https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/permissions.html

Oh thank you so much for helping me solve this problem. I just started with Discordjs, tried searching and got answers only for older versions, thanks to you this is easier. 🤗
