Wicks permissions and role order

If Wicks can see a channel but cannot run an action or assign a role, the cause is usually a missing channel permission or role order.

The most important rule

Open Server Settings → Roles and move the Wicks role above every role it needs to assign or remove, and above members it may need to moderate.

Administrator does not bypass role order

Wicks cannot manage a member or role above its own role—even with Administrator—and it cannot manage the server owner.

Check channel permissions too

A channel or category can deny a permission that the server role allows. Open Edit Channel → Permissions and make sure Wicks has no red deny for the action it needs.

Quick test

Send an Embed in a private test channel, then create a test role below Wicks and assign it to a test member. This verifies messaging and role order.

Should I use Administrator?

Administrator makes the first setup easier but grants broad access. You can instead give Wicks the permissions above as you enable each module.
