Discord bot check if user is admin

Question

Hi i\'m new to python coding with discord and I have tried to make a command that tells the user if they are a admin or not but well... its not working in the slightest

Answer 1

Change

@client.command(name="whoami",description="who are you?")
async def whoami():

to

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def whoami(ctx):

Then you can use ctx to get all kinds of stuff like the user that wrote it, the message contents and so on

To see if a User is an administrator do
if ctx.message.author.server_permissions.administrator: which should return True if the user is an an Administator

Your code should look like this:

import discord
import asyncio
from discord.ext.commands import Bot

client = Bot(description="My Cool Bot", command_prefix="!", pm_help = False, )
@client.event
async def on_ready():
  print("Bot is ready!")
  return await client.change_presence(game=discord.Game(name='My bot'))

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def whoami(ctx):
    if ctx.message.author.server_permissions.administrator:
        msg = "You're an admin {0.author.mention}".format(ctx.message)  
        await client.send_message(ctx.message.channel, msg)
    else:
        msg = "You're an average joe {0.author.mention}".format(ctx.message)  
        await client.send_message(ctx.message.channel, msg)
client.run('Your_Bot_Token')
