Stop requesting Administrator permission. Build secure Discord bots.
noadmin.info is an educational resource for Discord bot developers, promoting the principle of least privilege. The site teaches developers why requesting Administrator permission is harmful and provides tools to calculate the exact permissions their bots need.
Too many Discord bots request Administrator permission "for convenience" when they only need a handful of specific permissions. This practice:
- 🔓 Creates unnecessary security risks
- 😰 Erodes user trust
- ❌ Gets bots rejected from bot lists like top.gg and discord.bots.gg
- 💥 Can lead to catastrophic damage if the bot is compromised
- 📚 Educational Content — Learn why least privilege matters for Discord bots
- 🔢 Permission Calculator — Interactive tool to calculate exact permission integers
- 🤖 Bot Examples — Real-world examples showing what permissions different bot types need
- 🔗 OAuth2 URL Generator — Generate invite links with your Bot ID and calculated permissions
- 📱 Mobile Responsive — Fully responsive design that works on all devices
- 🌙 Dark Theme — Easy on the eyes, matching Discord's aesthetic
