Troubleshooting
Each entry is a message the bot can actually send, what it means and how to fix it.
Permissions and roles
| Message | Fix |
|---|---|
| AuthentiGate needs the (permission) permission here. | Give the bot's role that permission (Server Settings → Roles), or in that channel. |
| AuthentiGate cannot give that role: it sits above AuthentiGate's own highest role, or an integration manages it. | Drag the AuthentiGate role above it in Server Settings → Roles. Roles managed by another bot or a booster role can't be given. |
next to roles in /setup | Same: move the bot's role higher. Members get the roles at the next sync. |
| Their highest role is not below AuthentiGate's. | The bot can't act on that member until its role is above theirs. |
| Their highest role is not below yours. | You can't moderate someone at or above your own top role. |
| Nobody can do that to the server's owner. | Discord doesn't allow it. |
| You do not have permission to do that here. | You need Manage Server (setup commands), or the matching permission or staff tier (moderation). |
| Staff can't see a moderation command | Allow their roles on it in Server Settings → Integrations → AuthentiGate. |
in /moderation → Lockdown and status | Give the bot the listed permission. |
| Without View Audit Log, bans, kicks and timeouts made in Discord's own menus are not recorded. | Give the bot View Audit Log. |
Verification
| Message | Fix |
|---|---|
| This server has not enabled verification. | The server needs Premium. |
| This server has used all of its verifications for this month. | Wait for next month, or ask in the support server about the limit. |
Verification is started from a server. Run /verify there. | Run it in the server, not in DMs. |
| Verification did not succeed several times recently. | Three failed attempts in 30 days pauses new ones for a while. |
That verification has ended. Run /verify to start again. | The link or button is old. Start again. |
| You deleted your data recently, so this account cannot verify again until … | Wait until that date. |
| Verified, but no role | Check the role is mapped in /verification roles, the bot's role is above it, the member meets the age requirement, and the server has Premium. |
Logs, reports and appeals
| Message | Fix |
|---|---|
| This server takes no reports through AuthentiGate: it has no report channel. | Set a Reports log in /logs. |
| This server does not take appeals through AuthentiGate. | Turn appeals on in /moderation and set an Appeals log. |
| Files need a mod log to live in. | Set a Mod log in /logs. |
| The bot needs Manage Channels and Manage Roles to create log channels. | Give its role both, then press Create again. |
| Discord refused: …. Pick a channel for those by hand. | Some channels couldn't be made; pick existing ones. |
Moderation
| Message | Fix |
|---|---|
| That is not a length. Try 30m, 2h, 1d or 1w. | Use a number and a unit. |
| A timeout lasts at most 28 days. For longer, use a temporary ban. | |
| No messages matched. Messages older than 14 days cannot be bulk deleted. | Discord limit. |
| Choose the lockdown channels first | Pick them in /moderation → Lockdown and status. |
| Quarantine is not set up here. | Pick a quarantine role in /moderation → Members. |
| This confirmation has expired or was already used. | Start again from the member's panel. |
| Discord did not accept that. Try again in a moment. | Usually temporary. |
| That is a Premium feature. | See Premium. |
| Discord allows only one rule of that kind per server | Edit the existing rule in Server Settings → AutoMod. |
Tickets
| Message | Fix |
|---|---|
| AuthentiGate is missing a permission for that. | Channel tickets need Manage Channels and Manage Roles; thread tickets need Create Private Threads and Manage Threads. |
| This category is not ready yet | Pick where its tickets go in /tickets. |
| Thread tickets need a channel | Pick the channel its threads go in. |
| That Discord category is full: it holds 50 channels at most. | Pick another category in /tickets. |
| Pick a channel and at least one category first. | Before posting a panel. |
| Transcripts show who wrote but not what | The bot's Message Content setting is off; the bot's team can turn it on. |
