Changing role hierarchy with discord.py

Question

I want to create a new role in discord.py.

But I want this role to be in the (let's say) 3rd spot of the roles. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You would use Role.edit, passing a position value, which must be lower than the position of your highest role.

@bot.command()
async def moverole(ctx, role: discord.Role, pos: int):
    try:
        await role.edit(position=pos)
        await ctx.send("Role moved.")
    except discord.Forbidden:
        await ctx.send("You do not have permission to do that")
    except discord.HTTPException:
        await ctx.send("Failed to move role")
    except discord.InvalidArgument:
        await ctx.send("Invalid argument")
