UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions / setNickname

I got an error when trying to set the nickname of a user

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions

I tested all variables with console log they're set as expected and the [prefix + "rename"] is recognize... Am I doing it wrong? ^^'

  bot.on("message", msg => {
        var renameID=[ChannelID]
        var userID= msg.author;
        var message = msg.content.split(' ');
        var args = message.length
        if (message[0] === prefix + "rename") {
            if (msg.channel.id === RenameID){
                if (args === 2){
                    msg.guild.member(userID).setNickname(message[1]);
                    msg.reply(" some text " + message[1]);
                }                     

            }
         }

edit: the bot has admin rights on the server

In the guild's role settings, your bot's role is not above the role of the user you want to edit.

Once you change that, your code should work.
