Check if user has perms?

I tried doing this:

if(!msg.author.hasPermission('MANAGE_MESSAGES')) return msg.channel.send(":x: You don't have permissions. :x:")

but it gave me this error:

TypeError: msg.author.hasPermission is not a function

Help? (Tring to check if the user has permission to manage messages when a specific code is executed.)

If you use discordjs, v13 you can do like below:

    if(message.member.permissions.has(Discord.Permissions.FLAGS.ADMINISTRATOR)) {
        /* logic here */
    }

All Permission Flags are under this property Discord.Permissions.FLAGS

Users don't have permissions, guild members do

you need to get the user as a guild member with 

const member = message.guild.member(message.author);

so do this 

if(!message.guild.member(message.author).hasPermission('MANAGE_MESSAGES')) {
  return msg.channel.send(":x: You don't have permissions. :x:") 
}
