Permission needed for permissionOverwrite method

Hi, I'm developing a bot for my server, so I let it have Admin permission. However I want my friend test my bot as well, but he doesn't want a bot with Admin, so I'm figuring out what permission I need for my bot to operate. I tried checking all the permission but admin, and I got this error:

./node_modules/@discordjs/rest/dist/index.js:722
      throw new DiscordAPIError(data, "code" in data ? data.code : data.error, status, method, url, requestData);
            ^

In my code, I have a custom mute command that changes the user's permission so they just cannot send messages, which I used "channel.permissionOverwrites.create(...)", but then this line caused the error. But it didn't have this error when I gave it admin permission. Is there any way to prevent this without granting it admin perm? P/s: In my OAuth2, I set the scope to application.commands & bot, and all permissions except admin.

The full code that causes the error is

await channel.permissionOverwrites.create(user.id,
{ 'SendMessages': false,
   'SendMessagesInThreads': false,
   'SendVoiceMessages': false,
});

await channel.permissionOverwrites.create(user.id,
{ 'SendMessages': false,
   'SendMessagesInThreads': false,
   'SendVoiceMessages': false,
});

the bot does not have access to the channel, or the bot is not in the guild also why not use timeouts

rubiiOP•6mo ago

it's for some personal reason, specifically i want the user to not be able to send message but able to click some buttons so that's why i customize this "mute" also this happens after i issued the slash command

treble/luna•6mo ago

does the bot have access to the channel and is the bot in the guild

rubiiOP•6mo ago

yes it is. when i see the channel, i see the bot is online

treble/luna•6mo ago

does the bot have manage channel permissions

rubiiOP•6mo ago

yes I checked all the permission but admin :,,,,,,,( i tried checking only needed permission at first but it just doesn't work, so i'm so desperate to the point that i checked everything but admin and it still doesnt work T T

log <Interaction>.channel.permissionsFor(<Guild>.members.me)

rubiiOP•6mo ago

when i logged this (

channel.permissionsFor(guild.members.me).toArray()

channel.permissionsFor(guild.members.me).toArray()

), it's giving all the permission i think:

That's true though... But in the bot's role in the server, I saw that this is already checked. What might be the reason it's not there?

rubiiOP•6mo ago

I just figured out the issue! Turns out the bot cannot access private channels, and I think it's because it doesn't have admin permission. Is it not possible for a bot without admin permission to view private channel?
