DiscordAPIError: Missing Access, Even though bot has been given admin

[WilliamHarer]

Like the title says, been pulling my hair out dealing with my main bot getting stuck at signaling when starting a voiceConnection; so I jump over here and start pulling my hair out because even though my bot should have admin rights it's missing access.

You also need application.commands scope while inviting the bot if the error is from slash commands/interactions

[megatank58]

That's unfortunately not the issue, this screen is in client and was pulled after the bot was added to the server.

• That is the issue though the error generally originates from slash command deploys without application.commands scope

I'm not sure where in the bot creation process I'm missing steps though :/

The only remaining step would be to change my auth.json token to the new bot token, which I do only to continue to receive the access error

[WilliamHarer]

Ah I caught it. The discord application webpage doesn't update the scope in the autogenerated url to add slash commands. Someone should look into updating the application auto-generating url to add that as a scope option.

[megatank58]

well its not auto generated, bot is also a scope and so is application.commands you must specifically choose them

[WilliamHarer]

I see it now, bot plays nicely with some url changing options in scope and not others. I guess I had to many selected so it was just telling me to choose a url instead of giving me the generated one. Thanks for the help

Can you share some code?

It's purely cloned from the repository, no additions of my own.
