Find the right permission check

A Fieldbot action can depend on several Discord rules:

  1. User permission: the member running the command needs the required Discord permission.
  2. Fieldbot permission: the bot needs the permission required by the action.
  3. Channel permissions: channel overrides can block an otherwise available server permission.
  4. Role order: member or role actions require the Fieldbot role to be above the manageable target role.
  5. Fieldbot Command Access: a server-specific channel or role policy can apply after Discord's own permission checks.

The User permission shown on command cards comes from the 3.27.3 command manifest. Fieldbot's own permission depends on the target action and channel, so these docs do not invent one generic bot-permission list.
