Danger

This documentation is for the discord.js 8.2 branch called discordv8 maintained by macdja38. You’re probably looking for documentation on version 9 or higher, which is available on the other docs site.

Permission Constants

In discord.js, you can handle permissions in two ways. The preferred way is to just use the string name of the permission, alternatively you can use Discord.Constants.Permissions["permission name"].

Preferred Way

The preferred way of using permissions in discordv8 is to just use the name. E.g:

role.hasPermission("voiceUseVAD")

Alternative

You can also go the long way round and use the numerical permission like so:

role.hasPermission( Discord.Constants.Permissions.voiceUseVAD )
