python - Kick Command Is Giving Errors

Question

My kick command is below:

   @bot.command()
   async def kick(ctx, member: discord.Member, *,reason=None):
      d = datetime.datetime.now()
      channel = bot.get_channel(556058910566514688)
      embed=discord.Embed(title='**Kicked By:** {}# 
     {}'.format(ctx.message.author.name, 
             ctx.message.author.discriminator), colour=discord.Colour(0x7ed321), description='**Reason:** {} 
 **Time:** {}/{}/{}'.format(reason, d.year, d.month, d.day))
embed.set_author(name='{}#{}'.format(member.name, member.discriminator), url="https://discordapp.com", icon_url='{}'.format(member.avatar_url, member.name, member.discriminator))
embed.set_thumbnail(url="{}".format(ctx.message.author.avatar_url))
role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="Retired Staff")
if ctx.message.author.top_role < role:
        await ctx.send('```Only staff Can kick anyone```')
elif reason is None:
    await ctx.send('You can't kick anyone without a reason')
elif ctx.message.author.top_role > role:
    if ctx.message.author.top_role < member.top_role:
        await ctx.send('```You can't ban a staff member higher than you```')
    else:
        if ctx.message.author.top_role > member.top_role:
            await member.kick()
            await channel.send(embed=embed)

Error:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Answer 1

Your bot does not have the permissions necessary to kick the member in question. Make sure your bot has the KICK_MEMBERS permission and that your bot can interact with the member (your bot's highest role is above their highest role and the member is not the owner of the guild).
