How to check if owner in discord.py

I'm trying to make this command where only the owner can run it. Is there anyway to check for the highest role or the creator of the server?

I tried '@commands.is_owner()' but that only checks if someone is the owner of the bot.

You can use the decorator:

@commands.has_role("RoleName")

Example:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands.core import command

@bot.command
@commands.has_role("RoleName")
async def ...(ctx)
    await ctx.send("your message")

Let me know if it works!

Edit: you can also import everything:

import discord
from discord import user
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands.core import command
from discord.member import Member
from discord.message import Message
from discord.user import User

Guild.owner exists, so here's an example of its use!

from discord.ext import commands


bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="your_prefix")

# example use with custom decorator
def guild_owner_only():
    async def predicate(ctx):
        return ctx.author == ctx.guild.owner  # checks if author is the owner

    return commands.check(predicate)

@bot.command()
@guild_owner_only()
async def ...
