General server

Membership

Create InviteLowLets the bot generate invite links to the server. Rarely needed unless the bot posts invites for users.

Kick MembersHigh2FALets the bot remove members from the server. They can rejoin with a new invite. Only members whose highest role is below the bot's highest role can be kicked.

Ban MembersHigh2FALets the bot ban members and delete their recent messages. Bans persist until manually removed. Role hierarchy still applies.

Change NicknameLowLets the bot change its own nickname in the server.

Manage NicknamesMediumLets the bot change other members' nicknames, for example to strip hoisting characters.

Timeout MembersHighLets the bot time out members below its highest role. Timed-out members lose all permissions except View Channels and Read Message History.

Text channels

Voice & stage

Events

Manage EventsMediumLets the bot edit and cancel any scheduled event in the server.

Create EventsLowLets the bot create scheduled events, and edit or delete only the ones it created.

Apps

Use Application CommandsLowControls whether members can use slash commands. Your bot does not need it to register or respond to commands; that is what the applications.commands scope is for.

Use ActivitiesLowLets the bot launch Activities in voice channels.

Use External AppsLowControls whether members' user-installed apps can post public responses. Bots do not need it.

Advanced

AdministratorCritical2FAGrants every permission, including ones added to Discord in the future, and ignores every channel-level deny a server owner sets. There is no way for a server to restrict a bot that holds it.
