Discord Permissions Calculator

How to use

1. 1Pick a quick preset (Read-only bot, Basic chat bot, Music bot, Moderation bot, Administrator, or None) to load a sensible starting set, or skip presets and build from scratch.
2. 2Tick the checkboxes for the exact permissions the bot needs. Elevated permissions like Administrator and Ban Members are highlighted in red so you can spot them at a glance.
3. 3Watch the live Permissions integer (decimal and hex) update with every change, or paste an existing integer into the input to decode it back into named permissions.
4. 4Enter your application's client id from the Discord developer portal and pick the OAuth2 scopes (bot for a server install, applications.commands for slash commands).
5. 5Copy the generated invite URL, click Open Discord authorize page to add the bot to a server, or copy the plain-English permission list for documentation.

About this tool

Discord Permissions Calculator builds the permission integer that goes into a bot invite URL or a role permissions field. Every Discord permission is a power-of-two bit; the value you see in the developer portal or the API is the bitwise OR of every enabled flag. This tool exposes the full Discord permission catalogue organized exactly the way Discord's own role settings UI organizes it (general, membership, text channels, voice channels, stage, events, apps, advanced). Toggle the checkboxes to build the integer in real time, or paste an existing decimal or 0x-prefixed hex integer to decode it back into named permissions. Each permission shows the bit value, a one-sentence description of what it lets a role do, and an Elevated badge for the high-risk ones (Administrator, Ban Members, Manage Server, Timeout Members, Mention Everyone). Quick presets cover the four bot archetypes most people are looking for: a Read-only bot for analytics, a Basic chat bot that can post messages and slash commands, a Music bot that can join voice and stream audio, a Moderation bot with kick, ban, timeout, and message management, and a full Administrator bot for fully trusted setups. The invite URL builder accepts your application's client id and lets you pick OAuth2 scopes (bot, applications.commands). It produces the canonical discord.com/oauth2/authorize URL with the right client_id, permissions, and scope query parameters, validated against the 17-to-20 digit snowflake format Discord uses. Warning callouts flag dangerous combinations (Administrator overrides everything, applications.commands without bot, missing scope) before you paste the URL into a server. All bit math runs in the browser with BigInt to keep precision across the full 64-bit permission space, so the value you see is the value Discord will see. Nothing is uploaded; your selection stays on your device. Useful for Discord bot developers, server administrators planning new roles, anyone moving permissions across servers, and anyone who just needs to read a permission value posted in a guide or template.
