# Installation & Permissions

> The OAuth scopes and Discord permissions Updater needs, and who can run each command.

## Inviting the bot

Ask whoever manages Updater for your server's invite link. It uses the `bot`
and `applications.commands` scopes — the latter is what registers `/games`,
`/setchannel`, and `/status` as slash commands in your server.

## Channel permissions

| Permission    | Used for                                                                 |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| View Channel  | Confirming the delivery channel still exists before posting to it        |
| Send Messages | Posting a notification the first time, and editing it in place afterward |

Updater only needs these two permissions in the one channel you actually use
for notifications — you can scope them down to just that channel instead of
granting them server-wide.

<Note>
  `/setchannel` checks both permissions in the channel you pick before it
  accepts it. If either one is missing, the panel says exactly what's missing
  instead of saving anyway and failing silently later. If the channel no
  longer exists — for example it was deleted mid-flow — the panel reports
  that too.
</Note>

## Command access

| Command       | Access        | Why                                                    |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `/games`      | Manage Server | Changes which games this server gets notifications for |
| `/setchannel` | Manage Server | Changes where notifications are delivered              |
| `/status`     | Everyone      | Read-only — doesn't change any server behavior         |

Discord enforces this automatically: members without **Manage Server** can't
run `/games` or `/setchannel` in the first place. `/status` is deliberately
open so anyone can check what's tracked and whether delivery is healthy
without needing elevated access.
