# /permissions

> Check a member's effective permissions in a channel.

Check which permissions a member effectively has in a channel.

## Description

Returns a checklist showing every Discord permission and whether the member has it, factoring in their roles, channel overrides, and server defaults.

## Required permissions

* **User:** none
* **Bot:** `Embed Links`

## Syntax

```text theme={null}
/permissions user:<member> [channel:<channel>]
```

## Example

```text theme={null}
/permissions user:@StaffMember
/permissions user:@StaffMember channel:#mod-only
```

## Notes

<Tip>
  Great for debugging "why can't this person send messages?" — it shows you exactly which permission is blocked.
