DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions

I suppose this error fired when you tried to do an admin action but didn’t have permissions. Can you make sure your bot has admin privileges?

Hey!

I see… If you’re trying to did that Action, Make sure the Role is At the top of Non-Admin Role.

Also some Notice, Make sure your Project is Private because someone can Get your Token (if your token is at config.json or at some config file) at your Config File!

If your token is stored in .env you’re ok. As yonle says, make sure your bot’s role is on top of whatever person it’s preforming the action on otherwise it will fail. For example my bot cannot nickname an admin because it’s role is at the bottom of the roles list.
I think this might not apply to kicking though because a low bot may be able to kick a higher person
