In 2023, we had introduced permission splits for guild expressions (custom emoji and stickers) and scheduled events. These changes were made to give server administrators more granular control over who can create content in their communities. Read the change log.

Today, we are announcing that these permissions are now available for bot developers to use and will be required for certain actions starting February 23, 2026.

Create Guild Expressions Permission

  • The CREATE_GUILD_EXPRESSIONS permission (1 << 43) was created in July 2023 and split from MANAGE_GUILD_EXPRESSIONS for users in December 2023.
  • As of today, bots now have access to the CREATE_GUILD_EXPRESSIONS permission.
  • Starting on February 23, 2026, bots will need the CREATE_GUILD_EXPRESSIONS permission to create custom emoji and stickers. MANAGE_GUILD_EXPRESSIONS alone will no longer be sufficient.

Create Events Permission

  • The CREATE_EVENTS permission (1 << 44) was created in July 2023 and split from MANAGE_EVENTS for users in December 2023.
  • As of today, bots now have access to the CREATE_EVENTS permission.
  • Starting on February 23, 2026, bots will need the CREATE_EVENTS permission to create scheduled events. MANAGE_EVENTS alone will no longer be sufficient.
