## How do I add my bot to my server/guild?
The [OAuth2 URL](https://discordapp.com/developers/tools/oauth2-url-generator)
can be generated via the Discord developer page. This allows you to
set the permissions that the bot will be added with. With this method,
bots will also be assigned their own special roles that normal users
cannot use, which is what we call a `Managed` role.
You can do so by using the [permissions calculator] provided
by FiniteReality.
This tool allows you to set the permissions that the bot will be
added with, and invite the bot into your guild. With this method,
bots will also be assigned their own special roles that normal users
cannot use; this is what we call a `Managed` role, and this is a much
safer method of permission management than to create a role that any
users can be assigned to.
