Discord.py rewrite - getting Permissions of a discord.Member

Question

I am trying to get the permission of a mentioned discord. Member

I have tried it with

if discord.utils.get(user.guild_permissions, name="manage_messages"):

where the user: discord.Member

and I get this error

Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'name'

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

To check for permissions, you can use the discord. Permissions object's attributes. To check for the manage messages permission, you would do

if <permissions object>.manage_messages:

    #bot's code

In your case, the permissions object would be user.guild_permissions
