List of Permissions that each Individual MEE6 Plugin Needs to Function Properly
You can save a lot of time by enabling a single Administrator permission for MEE6.
While 'Administrator' is a dangerous permission to give to members, MEE6 is a well-established bot used in over 21 million servers. Granting this permission to MEE6 will make managing the bot easier.

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.
