Every Discord permission and intent TriBridge uses, and what stops working without it. This page is meant to be exhaustive — if something is behaving oddly, the cause is usually on it.

Gateway intents

Set these on the bot’s page in the Discord Developer Portal. Server Members is deliberately not requested. The bot fetches members one id at a time instead, which does not need it. Do not switch the code to a bulk guild.members.fetch() without adding the intent first.

Permissions in the bridge channel

The last two are reported once to the log channel when they first fail, then not again, so a missing permission does not spam the channel. The bridge falls back to ordinary relaying and keeps working.

Permissions in other channels

An officer channel needs Add Reactions only for the routing markers — 📡 when a reply reached no guild, ❓ on an unrecognised guild tag; without it the reply is still attempted. It deliberately needs neither Manage Webhooks nor Manage Messages, because nothing there is ever reposted or deleted.
⚠️ An officer channel is two-way. Every member who can post in it is speaking in Hypixel officer chat, and the channel’s own Discord permissions are the only thing controlling that.
A channel where the bot is missing Manage Webhooks or Manage Messages is skipped by the global profile change and left completely alone, with one warning to the log channel. It is not partially disguised. Officer channels are skipped by it whatever the permissions are — see Officer chat.

Server-wide permissions

Without them the in-game half of a promotion still happens, and the reply says which Discord step failed. A missing or broken log channel never takes down the work it was reporting on — the failure is printed to the console and swallowed. A log line always describes something that has already happened.

Permissions the bot demands of people

Two separate systems, deliberately.
  • Discord permissions, checked generically before a command runs. No TriBridge command uses one today. The admin role list is set with the community bot’s /adminrole.
  • Bot-admin roles, checked inside the command. Everything admin-gated uses this.
And two guards that are neither: every command is refused unless it came from the one Discord server the bot serves, and every command, button and menu is refused for a blacklisted member. See Admin roles for why that is not optional.
