Required permissions
Give administrators and the bot only the permissions they need.
Administrator permission
The /config setup, /config autothread, and /config sticky-message commands require the Discord Manage Channels permission. Auto Threads checks the member's effective permission again in the selected channel for every panel action; having it only in the channel where the command was opened is not enough.
Webhook sticky delivery additionally requires the configuring member to have Manage Webhooks in the selected channel.
Bot permissions
Auto Threads needs these permissions in every configured channel:
- View Channel;
- Send Messages;
- Create Public Threads;
- Send Messages in Threads;
- Read Message History;
- Manage Threads.
Manage Messages is also required when the Reject action and invalid-message deletion are enabled.
Message Content intent
The bot needs the privileged Message Content intent to inspect the text, links, and attachments of new messages. The Auto Threads operator enables it once in the Discord Developer Portal; server administrators do not manage any intents.
Check channel-specific permissions
A role can allow a permission at server level while a channel override denies it. Always inspect the permission overrides of the channel you are configuring.
