What is a permission value?

Discord stores role permissions as a bigint bitfield. Each permission corresponds to one bit.

Does Administrator include all permissions?

Yes. The Administrator permission grants nearly all other permissions implicitly.

Paste the integer in the decode field to list included permissions.

Yes, the same bit values apply, but channel overwrites are calculated separately from role permissions.

Discord role permissions use a numeric bitfield. Select checkboxes to compute a value or paste a number to see which permissions it includes.

Each permission corresponds to a bit in a large integer. Combining permissions ORs those bits together into one number bots and API tools reference.

Administrators see simplified checkboxes in the UI, but bots often need the raw integer.

Check permissions your role needs and copy the computed value. To decode, paste an existing integer and read the permission list below.

Administrator permission implies almost everything else. Use it sparingly for real admin roles only.

Moderator packs often include kick, ban, manage messages, and timeout members. Voice moderators might need mute and move members.

Cosmetic roles should have no elevated permissions, only color and hoist settings.

Channel-specific permissions stack with role permissions. This calculator shows role-level bits only.

Test controversial channels in a private category before applying overwrites server-wide.

Developers configuring OAuth or bot invites use the same bit values. Cross-check Discord developer docs when permissions update.

Keep permission principle of least privilege. Extra bits increase accident and exploit risk.
