Granularize "Manage Server" Permission

Paedar

The current explanation for the "Manage Server" permission is:
Members with this permission can change the server's name or move regions.

However, this permission is also required to invite bots to the server. I propose adding at least a new permission to invite bots to the server.
Here's the specific use case that leads me to this request:
I'm in charge of the bot management for a server, but I'm not the owner/administration. It would not make sense for me to have the permission to change the server region, but it would make sense for me to be able to invite bots.

    Hi! This option could be useful but could also be abused. Think good but adding bots is more an option for administrators.

    Have a nice day!

    Which is precisely why administration gave me the task of handling the bots.
    One protective thing that comes to mind is that you possibly shouldn't be able to give bots permissions you don't have yourself, just like it should be with literally any permission.

    agreed. i don't see why I would ever give someone the ability to change the server name or region... but I do have administrators who manage the bots. 

    Honestly, it would be better to put "change server name and region" into the "administrator" privilege... and change the "manage server" privilege into just "manage bots"

    How do you do it if you already have account?

    Why the “Manage Server” permission is required for adding bots in the server, even the permission detail said “Allow members to change this server's name, switch regions, view all invites, add apps to this server and create and update AutoMod rules”?
