python - how do we add roles in discord?

I have trouble adding roles to a user in discord, here's my code:

@bot.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(reaction):
   if reaction.message_id == message_id_here:
        user = bot.get_user(reaction.user_id)
        await user.add_roles(name='Members')

here's the error:

AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'add_roles'

Few things wrong with that code.

First off all object user represents Discord user (not tied to any guilds) while object member is tied to specific guild.

One user can be in multiple guilds and you will have member object of it per each guild. If you want data on guild you need the member object.

To add roles you need to call add_roles on a member object.

So instead of getting the user object get the member object by getting guild then getting member from it:

@bot.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(reaction):
    if reaction.message_id == message_id_here:
        guild = bot.get_guild(reaction.guild_id)
        member = guild.get_member(reaction.user_id)
        await member.add_roles(...)

Also note that add_roles takes a role object, you cannot just pass name='Members'.

If you want to find that role from the guild then use utils:

    ...
    role = find(lambda r: r.name == 'Members', guild.roles)
    await member.add_roles(role)

Note that find is in discord.utils.find.
