My Discord bot still shows a ‘missing access’ error when trying to access guild information, even though it has admin privileges. Any help?
hey mate, have u tried regenerating the bot token? sometimes that fixes weird permission stuff. also, make sure ur using the right intents when initializing the bot. i had a similar issue and it was cos i forgot to enable the server members intent. good luck!
Have you double-checked that the bot’s role is actually set to admin in the server settings? Sometimes there’s a disconnect between what permissions we think we’ve given and what’s actually applied. Also, make sure the bot’s role is positioned high enough in the hierarchy. Even with admin rights, if its role is below others, it might still face access issues.
Another thing to consider is whether you’re using the correct guild ID in your code. I’ve seen cases where devs accidentally use the wrong ID, leading to these kinds of errors. Lastly, if all else fails, try kicking and reinviting the bot to the server. This can sometimes resolve weird permission hiccups.
I’ve encountered this issue before, and it can be frustrating. One thing that solved it for me was explicitly enabling the ‘Server Members Intent’ in the Discord Developer Portal. Even with admin rights, some guild operations require this intent to be active.
Another potential culprit could be rate limiting. If you’re making too many requests in a short time, Discord might temporarily restrict access. Try implementing a delay between requests or use a queue system to manage your API calls more efficiently.
Lastly, ensure your bot’s code is up-to-date with the latest Discord.js version. Older versions might have compatibility issues with recent Discord API changes. Updating the library could resolve unexpected permission problems.
