Role order and permissions

Having a permission enabled does not automatically mean the bot can act on every member or role. Discord also checks role order.

Core rule

Fieldbot's highest role must be above the highest role of the member or role it needs to manage.

This matters for:

• Ban, kick, and timeout
• Assigning or removing roles
• Level reward roles
• Ticket permission overwrites

:::info Server owner The server owner is protected regardless of role order. Bots cannot moderate the server owner. :::

When an action fails, checking role order before changing every permission is often the fastest fix.
