No, you can use the command `/setup` without admin permissions and the bot will explain how to configure it without admin permissions. ## Why does the bot ask for admin perms? EmpyManager requires the `Manage Permissions` permission inside the category in order to properly create channels there. For some reasons, creating a category with such permissions can only be done with admin permissions. Therefore, the bot asks for admin permissions by default to directly create the category without any effort by the user. ## How to use the bot without admin perms? * Create a category * Add full permissions to the bot in the category * Complete the creation with the slash command `/setup-category ` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.empymanager.com/admin-permissions.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
