The Clan Labs bot is missing required permissions
Restore Discord permissions needed for Clan Labs commands, messages, roles, nicknames, and events.
Last updatedA command shows Warning - Missing Discord permissions, says I am missing the … permission!, cannot send a response, or fails a role, nickname, channel, thread, invite, or event operation.
Fix it
- Copy the exact permission named in the response.
- In Server Settings → Roles, inspect the Clan Labs bot role.
- Check category and channel overrides for the command and delivery channel.
- Confirm the bot appears online or installed in the correct server.
- For role actions, compare role order as well as permission toggles.
Use the official Clan Labs invite flow to restore the supported permissions, or grant the named permission to the existing bot role. The official invite requests Administrator for reliable operation. If your server uses granular controls, ensure the bot can manage roles and nicknames and perform its configured channel, message, thread, embed, attachment, mention, emoji, reaction, and invite workflows.
Move the bot role above managed roles without placing it above roles it does not need to control.
For a command-permission synchronization error, check the signed-in user's Discord authorization and Manage Server/Manage Roles permissions too. Giving the bot additional permissions does not renew the user's consent. Follow command synchronization.
When to retry
Retry after Discord saves the role and channel changes. Use a harmless /help or test-member /update before repeating a high-impact action.
Still failing?
Contact Clan Labs support if Discord shows the named permission as allowed at every role and channel layer but the current bot still reports it missing.
Include the server and channel IDs, command, exact permission message, bot role position, timestamp, and redacted screenshots of permission overrides. Never send a bot token.
