Bot permissions explained
What the current install link requests and how Setup uses permissions.
Current installation request
The current REAPER install link requests the bot and applications.commands scopes with Administrator permission. This is a broad permission request, not a feed-only minimum. Review it before authorizing installation.
- applications.commands enables Discord application commands
- Viewing channels, sending messages, embedding links, and attaching files support feeds and panels
- Reading message history supports existing-message checks and some delivery recovery paths
- Managing channels, roles, or threads supports the Setup and workflow features that use them
Permissions and role hierarchy
Administrator does not remove Discord's role hierarchy restrictions. Keep the bot's role above roles it must assign or manage. If you restrict its permissions after installation, check each enabled feature and Setup result: missing permissions can prevent channel creation, role changes, moderation, or delivery. A person's Discord Administrator permission is not a blanket grant of REAPER command or owner access.
