Important note about custom bots (Bot Personalizer).

Your custom bot has its own, separate role. Make sure it has a high position in your Discord server settings -> Roles.
This role also has its own, separate permissions.

If your server has "Require 2FA for moderator actions" enabled, the following permissions will require two-factor authentication:
- Administrator
- Kick Members
- Ban Members
- Manage Channels
- Manage Messages
- Manage Roles
- Manage Webhooks
- Manage Server

Without 2FA enabled on the bot owner's account, these permissions will not function.
