Troubleshooting
The bot is online but commands don't appear Slash commands can take up to an hour to propagate globally. Try using the commands in a DM or re-inviting the bot.
The bot can't assign a role The bot's role must be above the target role in your server's role hierarchy (Server Settings → Roles).
The bot says it's missing permissions Ensure the channel hasn't overridden the bot's permissions. Check channel settings → Permissions and verify the bot or its role isn't denied the needed permissions.
