How to know if user has more permissions than the bot?
Hi, how can i get to know if a discord user has more perms than the bot, I want the bot to change a specified user username when a command is run, but I am getting an missing permission error, i think it's because that the user whose name has to be changed is on higher rank than the bot, if it doesn't work like that let me know, also pls help me with my question.
thanks in advance for the help.

npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

oh, and how can i get to know if the user is on higher rank than the bot?
compare guild.members.me.roles.highest.position vs member.roles.highest.position
and you have to check if the target is the owner, that wouldn't work either
ohk, thanks
