Bot Permissions

Understanding the permissions Sterix needs to function properly in your Discord server.

Important Note

Sterix requires certain permissions to function properly. Without these permissions, some features may not work as expected. Make sure to give the bot the necessary permissions when adding it to your server.

Required Permissions
Manage Server

Required for configuring server-wide settings.

Manage Roles

Needed for reaction roles and role management commands.

Manage Channels

Required for creating and managing ticket channels.

Kick Members

Needed for moderation commands like kick.

Ban Members

Required for ban and tempban commands.

Manage Messages

Needed for message cleanup and auto-moderation.

Read Message History

Required for logging and message context.

Send Messages

Needed for the bot to respond to commands.

Permission Hierarchy

Discord uses a role hierarchy system. Sterix can only manage roles that are positioned below its highest role. For best results, place the Sterix role near the top of your server's role list.

Troubleshooting Permission Issues

Bot can't create channels or roles

Check that Sterix has the "Manage Channels" and "Manage Roles" permissions, and that its role is positioned above any roles it needs to manage.

Bot can't send messages in certain channels

Verify channel-specific permissions. The bot may be affected by channel permission overwrites that restrict its ability to send messages.

Bot can't ban or kick members

Ensure Sterix has the "Ban Members" and "Kick Members" permissions, and that it's not trying to moderate users with roles higher than its own.
