Error 50013 thrown when giving and removing roles

Heyy so I'm getting started with discord.js and created a command that should give and remove a role depending on whether a user has it via interactions. I think I understand how roles work in discord, but I'm confused as to why I'm getting a permission error. Hopefully someone can help!

Gateway intent bits:

const client = new Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    ],
});

const client = new Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    ],
});

Error is thrown right after line 12 (await interaction.member.roles.remove(roleID);) runs which leads me to think that it is a role-management permission problem

treble/luna•16mo ago

does your bot have permissions to manage roles and is the bot's highest role above that role?

SpurOP•16mo ago

When I added it to the test server, I set its permission code as 8 which I thought just made it an admin. I'll send its explicit perms rq

treble/luna•16mo ago

administrator does not mean it can add any role

SpurOP•16mo ago

treble/luna•16mo ago

its still limited to the hierarchy

SpurOP•16mo ago

Ah oof

treble/luna•16mo ago

it can add roles that are below its highest role any roles above that, or managed roles, will throw a missing perms error

SpurOP•16mo ago

I see. Will enabling every permission allow it to give any role?

treble/luna•16mo ago

SpurOP•16mo ago

The role it is trying to give is simply a color role with no perms attatched btw

treble/luna•16mo ago

administrator is all perms

SpurOP•16mo ago

Ah ok

treble/luna•16mo ago

but in order to give the role, the bot's role needs to be higher by default, new roles, and i assume this includes the bot role, are placed at the bottom you also cannot moderate members that have a higher role

SpurOP•16mo ago

You were right! Adjusting that order fixed it completely I had no idea that the order in which roles are stacked mattered lol Thank you!
