Example

Moderation bot

The most permission-hungry common bot type, and still nowhere near Administrator. Every action is scoped by role hierarchy, so the bot can only act on members below its own role.

Does not need

Administrator

Every moderation action above has its own permission.

Manage Server

Moderation never changes server settings.

Manage Roles

Timeouts replace the old 'muted role' approach.

Tip

Place the bot's role below your moderator roles so a compromised bot cannot act against staff.

Tip

Use timeouts instead of a muted role; it removes the need for Manage Roles entirely.
