Permissions

Every permission InviteCount asks for, what it is used for, and how to check them.

InviteCount asks for its permissions when you add it. This page explains each one, so you can decide what to keep.

Check the permissions at any time#

In Discord: run /check-permissions. Add a channel (/check-permissions channel:#welcome) to also check the permissions in that channel, where the bot sends messages.
On the dashboard: the Verification, Raid protection and Honeypot pages show a Bot permissions card with the permissions of that module.

/check-permissions lists each module, the permissions it needs, and the ones that are missing.

Permissions in the invite link#

Permission	What InviteCount does with it
Administrator	Covers every other permission. Optional.
Manage Server	Reads the server's invites to know who invited whom. Pauses invites during a raid. Required for invite tracking.
Manage Channels	Sees invites being created and deleted. Creates ticket channels and the `#honeypot` channel. Required for invite tracking.
Manage Roles	Gives auto roles, label roles, message rewards, the verified role, giveaway winner roles and ticket roles.
View Channels	Sees the channels where it sends messages.
Send Messages	Sends join, leave and level-up messages, giveaways, leaderboards, reports and alerts.
Send Messages in Threads	Runs giveaways inside a thread.
Embed Links	Sends embeds (most of the bot's answers, leaderboards, giveaways, panels).
Attach Files	Sends images and files: level cards, welcome banners, captchas, charts, CSV exports, transcripts.
Read Message History	Finds and edits its own messages: pinned leaderboards, charts, giveaways, panels.
Add Reactions	Adds the reaction of reaction giveaways, and the reaction under join messages.
Use External Emojis	Shows the bot's own emojis in its messages.
Manage Messages	Deletes the message posted in a honeypot channel.
Pin Messages	Pins leaderboards, charts, the honeypot warning and the ticket opening message.
Kick Members	Kicks members who fail verification (when you choose it), young accounts during a raid, and honeypot catches.
Ban Members	Bans members who fail verification (when you choose it), raid cohorts, `/massban`, and honeypot catches (the default sanction is a ban followed by an unban, to delete their recent messages).
Timeout Members	Times out honeypot catches, when you choose that sanction.
Mention Everyone	Lets your own messages (welcome, giveaways, tickets) mention roles that are not mentionable. The bot never pings `@everyone` or `@here`.
Manage Webhooks	Creates the webhook of the log channel: logs and invite alerts are sent through it.
Create Invite	`/findlink`: creates the member's personal invite when they have no permanent one yet.
Change Nickname	Sets the nickname of the bot profile on your server.
Create Public Threads, Create Private Threads	Part of the invite link, but no current feature depends on them. You can remove them.

Role position#

Discord lets the bot manage only the roles below its own role. If a role is above InviteCount's role, the bot can't give it, even with Administrator. Drag the InviteCount role above those roles in Server Settings → Roles.

What stops working without a permission#

Missing	Effect
Manage Server or Manage Channels	Invites are not tracked. Joins use the No permission message type, and `/invites` warns you.
Manage Roles, or a role above the bot	Roles are not given. Label roles are skipped silently; other features tell you in their answer or in the dashboard.
Send Messages, Embed Links or Attach Files in a channel	Messages to that channel fail. Server reports and pinned charts turn themselves off and tell you why on the dashboard.
Kick or Ban Members	The verification action, the raid buttons and the honeypot sanction fail. The report says so.
