What Manage Server allows

- Add a bot to the server with an invite link.
Things to know
- On servers with server-wide 2FA enabled, the owner's account must use two-factor authentication before this permission works.
- Discord's API and discord.js call it ManageGuild; the app shows it as Manage Server.
- Bots that only post messages or answer commands rarely need it.

Replace the client ID with your application's ID from the Discord developer portal. To request more than one permission, add their integers together, or tick them in the permissions calculator.

Questions
- Who can add a bot to a Discord server?
- A member needs Manage Server, or Administrator, to add a bot with an invite link.
- Is Manage Server the same as Manage Guild?
- Yes. Discord's API and libraries such as discord.js call the permission ManageGuild (MANAGE_GUILD in the docs); the Discord app labels it Manage Server.
- What is the integer value of Manage Server?
- Manage Server is bit 0x20, so its permissions integer is 32 when it is the only permission selected. To combine permissions, add their integers together (or OR their bits).
- Does Manage Server need two-factor authentication?
- On servers with server-wide 2FA enabled, the owner's account must use two-factor authentication before this permission works.
