How to I turn Permission numbers into a string / array?

const directories = [
        ...new Set(interaction.client.commands.map((cmd) => cmd.folder)),
      ];
  
      const formatString = (str) =>
        `${str[0].toUpperCase()}${str.slice(1).toLowerCase()}`;
  
      const categories = directories.map((dir) => {
        const getCommands = interaction.client.commands
          .filter((cmd) => cmd.folder === dir)
          .map((cmd) => {
            return {
              name: cmd.data.name,
              description:
                cmd.data.description ||
                "There is no description for this command.",
             -->  defaultMemberPermissions: cmd.data.default_member_permissions// || "There are no defualt member permissions for this command"
            };
const directories = [
        ...new Set(interaction.client.commands.map((cmd) => cmd.folder)),
      ];
  
      const formatString = (str) =>
        `${str[0].toUpperCase()}${str.slice(1).toLowerCase()}`;
  
      const categories = directories.map((dir) => {
        const getCommands = interaction.client.commands
          .filter((cmd) => cmd.folder === dir)
          .map((cmd) => {
            return {
              name: cmd.data.name,
              description:
                cmd.data.description ||
                "There is no description for this command.",
             -->  defaultMemberPermissions: cmd.data.default_member_permissions// || "There are no defualt member permissions for this command"
            };
defaultMemberPermissions returns with a number. How do i make this a string, such as administrator?

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

class PermissionsBitField (extends BitField) Data structure that makes it easy to interact with a permission bitfield. All GuildMembers have a set of permissions in their guild, and each channel in the guild may also have PermissionOverwrites for the member that override their default permissions.

               defaultMemberPermissions: cmd.data.default_member_permissions.serialize()// || "There are no defualt member permissions for this command"
                                                                             ^

this is how i am accessing the info: 
{
  folder: 'Info',
  data: SlashCommandBuilder {
    options: [],
    name: 'help',
    name_localizations: undefined,
    description: 'Get a list of all the commands form the discord bot.',
    description_localizations: undefined,
    default_permission: undefined,
    default_member_permissions: undefined //typically set. not set for this command,
    dm_permission: undefined,
    nsfw: undefined
  },
  execute: [AsyncFunction: execute]
}
{
  folder: 'Info',
  data: SlashCommandBuilder {
    options: [],
    name: 'help',
    name_localizations: undefined,
    description: 'Get a list of all the commands form the discord bot.',
    description_localizations: undefined,
    default_permission: undefined,
    default_member_permissions: undefined //typically set. not set for this command,
    dm_permission: undefined,
    nsfw: undefined
  },
  execute: [AsyncFunction: execute]
}
Decided to remove this feature as it is too complicated and not very useful
