Make a command in Discordjs that only executes if the member is admin

Question

I want to make one command only for admins.

//comando nick
        if(comando === 'nick'){
            if (message.author.permissions.has(!Permissions.STAGE_MODERATOR)) return message.reply('No Perms!');
            else{
                if(args == ''){
                    message.channel.send(`my message`);
                }
                else{
                    message.guild.members.cache.get(client.user.id).setNickname(`${args}`);
                    message.channel.send(`my message`);
                }
            }
        }

but i'm having this issue:

if (message.author.permissions.has(!Permissions.STAGE_MODERATOR)) return message.reply('No Perms!');

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'has')

I taken this code in Discord Js docs, but isn't working

Can you explain "it doesn't work"? What is it doing now and are there any errors? Please update the question :) — node_modules, Nov 24 '21 at 14:09

permissions doesn't exist on type User which is what Message#author returns. Use Message#member which returns a GuildMember

if (message.member.permissions.has(!Permissions.STAGE_MODERATOR)) return message.reply('No Perms!')

Also note that you are using the logical NOT operator (!) wrong. Put it at the start of the if statement rather than as the permission (!Permissions.STAGE_MODERATOR is false)

if (!message.member.permissions.has(Permissions.STAGE_MODERATOR)) return message.reply('No Perms!')
