Command Check Decorators

The following are all decorators for commands, which add restrictions to where and when they can be run.

redbot.core.commands.admin()

Restrict the command to users with the admin role.

This check can be overridden by rules.

redbot.core.commands.admin_or_can_manage_channel(*, allow_thread_owner=False)

Restrict the command to users with the admin role or permissions to manage channel.

This check properly resolves the permissions for discord.Thread as well.

This check can be overridden by rules.

Parameters:

allow_thread_owner (bool) – If True, the command will also be allowed to run if the author is a thread owner. This can, for example, be useful to check if the author can edit a channel/thread’s name as that, in addition to members with manage channel/threads permission, can also be done by the thread owner.

redbot.core.commands.admin_or_permissions(**perms)

Restrict the command to users with the admin role or these permissions.

This check can be overridden by rules.

redbot.core.commands.bot_can_manage_channel(*, allow_thread_owner=False)

Complain if the bot is missing permissions to manage channel.

This check properly resolves the permissions for discord.Thread as well.

Parameters:

allow_thread_owner (bool) – If True, the command will also be allowed to run if the bot is a thread owner. This can, for example, be useful to check if the bot can edit a channel/thread’s name as that, in addition to members with manage channel/threads permission, can also be done by the thread owner.

redbot.core.commands.bot_can_react()

Complain if the bot is missing permissions to react.

This check properly resolves the permissions for discord.Thread as well.

redbot.core.commands.bot_has_permissions(**perms)

Complain if the bot is missing permissions.

If the user tries to run the command, but the bot is missing the permissions, it will send a message describing which permissions are missing.

This check cannot be overridden by rules.

redbot.core.commands.bot_in_a_guild()

Deny the command if the bot is not in a guild.

redbot.core.commands.can_manage_channel(*, allow_thread_owner=False)
