# Admin Permissions ## Are admin permissions for the bot required? 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: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
