How do i got from user to GuildMember

So im making a ban slash command using .addUserOption but when i try to get the permissions from the .addUserOption so that the bot doesnt crash when trying to ban an admin i get an error. I already know why, you cant get permissions from a user, only a GuildMember, so how would i go from user to GuildMember?
CODE: (if needed)
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('#discordjs/builders');
const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js')
module.exports = {
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName("ban")
.setDescription("Bans the specified user!")
.addUserOption((option) =>
option
.setName("user")
.setDescription('Who do you want to ban?')
.setRequired(true)
)
.addStringOption((option) =>
option
.setName('reason')
.setDescription("Whats the reason youre banning this user?")
),
async execute(client, interaction) {
if (client.cooldowns.has(interaction.user.id)) {
let cooldownEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
.setTitle("Please wait for the cooldown to end.")
.setDescription("This is so that the bot doesnt overload")
.setColor("RED")
.setFooter("The cooldown is 5 sec")
.setTimestamp()
interaction.reply({ embeds: [cooldownEmbed], ephemeral: true });
} else {
const user = interaction.member
const permission = user.permissions.has('BAN_MEMBERS');
let embed = new MessageEmbed()
.setTitle("❌️ | You dont have the permissions to use this command.")
if(!permission)
return interaction.reply({embeds: [embed]})
const tgt = interaction.options.getUser('user')
let permsEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
.setTitle("The user you are trying to ban is an Administrator!")
.setColor("RED")
if (tgt.permissions.has('BAN_MEMBERS')) return interaction.reply({ embeds: [permsEmbed]})
const reason = interaction.options.getString('reason') || "No reason specified"
client.cooldowns.set(interaction.user.id, true);
setTimeout(() => {
client.cooldowns.delete(interaction.user.id);
}, client.COOLDOWN_SECONDS * 1000);
}
}
}

I checked CollinD's suggestion and i managed to fix the problem. Heres the code if anyone else runs into this problem and needs an answer.
CODE:
const tgt = interaction.options.getUser('user');
let permsEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
.setTitle('The user you are trying to ban is an Administrator!')
.setColor('RED');
const guildMember = interaction.guild.members.cache.get(tgt.id);
if (guildMember.permissions.has('BAN_MEMBERS'))
return interaction.reply({ embeds: [permsEmbed] });

The bot crashes whe3n i use user id

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const config = require('../config.json');
const { Permissions } = require('discord.js');
module.exports.run = async (client, message, args) => {
if(!message.member.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.BAN_MEMBERS, true)) return message.channel.send('You can\'t use that!')
if(!message.guild.me.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.BAN_MEMBERS, true)) return message.channel.send('I don\'t have the permissions.')
const member = message.mentions.members.first();
if(!args[0]) return message.channel.send('Please specify a user');
let reason = args.slice(1).join(" ");
if(!reason) reason = 'Unspecified';
message.guild.members.unban(`${member}`, `${reason}`)
.catch(err => {
if(err) return message.channel.send('Something went wrong')
})
let banembed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setTitle('Member Unbanned')
.addField('User Unbanned', member)
.addField('Unbanned by', message.author)
.addField('Reason', reason)
.setFooter('Time Unbanned', client.user.displayAvatarURL())
.setTimestamp()
message.channel.send(banembed);
}

You're using a message.mentions.members.first() which is referring to a pinged person. To use their ID's you can use .fetch or cache.get
const member = await message.guild.members.fetch(args[0])
const member = await message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0])
also you can use them on the same line using or ||
const member = message.mentions.members.first() || await message.guild.members.fetch(args[0]) || await message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0])
I only don't know if its going to work with unban because the bot and the user should on the same server

channel permissions overwrites not working despite bot saying it works, discord.js

I am creating a slash command to overwrite permissions on a private text channel so that when the command is called, a channel and role is specified by the user and that role is the only one that will be able to see that channel. I am using the permission overwrite manager to accomplish this but when the command is run, it will say it worked but when I actually check the channel, nothing has changed. My code for this command is below. What am I doing wrong?
const { Permissions } = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('givechannel')
.setDescription('Give an existing role to a channel')
.addChannelOption((option) =>
option
.setName('target')
.setDescription('Channel to give the role to')
)
.addRoleOption(option =>
option
.setName('role')
.setDescription('role to give the channel')
),
async execute(interaction) {
const channel = interaction.options.getChannel("target");
const role = interaction.options.getRole("role");
const name = interaction.guild.channels.cache.get(channel.id);
const id = interaction.guild.roles.cache.get(role.id);
if (!name) {
interaction.reply({ content: `That channel does not exist in the server!`, ephemeral: true});
return;
}
if (!id) {
interaction.reply({ content: `That role does not exist in the server!`, ephemeral: true })
}
if (!interaction.member.permissions.has([Permissions.FLAGS.ADMINISTRATOR])) {
interaction.reply({ content: `You don't have the permissions to give roles!`, ephemeral: true});
return;
} else {
try {
await interaction.channel.permissionOverwrites.edit( role, { VIEW_CHANNEL: true });
interaction.reply({ content: `${channel} has been given ${role} role!`, ephemeral: true});
} catch(err) {
console.log(err)
interaction.reply({ content: `Failed to give ${role} to ${channel}!`, ephemeral: true });
return;
}
}
}
}

JavaScript ReferenceError: member is not defined

So I'm trying to code a utility bot on my server and for some reason, this error popped out "Reference error"
ReferenceError: member is not defined
Every single time I solve a problem another one pops out. I know you guys will be asking me to save it (member) but I already did, like 7 times?
This is my current code:
const { Discord } = require("discord.js");
exports.run = async(client, msg, args) => {
if(!msg.member.hasPermission('BAN_MEMBERS')) return msg.reply('You do not have permission to use this command!')
var user = msg.mentions.user.first() || msg.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);
if(!user) return msg.reply('You did not mention a user for me to punish!')
var member;
try {
member = await msg.guild.members.fetch(user)
} catch(err) {
member = null;
}
if(member){
if(member.hasPermission('MANAGE_MESSAGES')) return msg.reply('You cannot ban a fellow staff member!');
}
var reason = args.splice(1).join(' ');
if(!reason) return msg.reply('Please make sure to specify a reason for me to punish this user!')
var channel = msg.guild.channels.cache.find(c => c.name === 'mod-logs');
var verify = msg.guild.emojis.cache.find(emoji => emoji.name === 'white_check_mark')
var log = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('0xecd776')
.setDescription(`${verify} ${user} has been kicked by ${msg.author} for "**${reason}**"`)
channel.send(logs);
var userLog = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('0xecd776')
.setDescription(`You have been banned from the server! Thats sadge. You can appeal the ban by message a staff member!`)
try {
await user.send(userLog);
} catch(err) {
console.warn(err);
}
msg.guild.members.ban(user);
var confir = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('0xecd776')
.setDescription(`${verify} ${user} has been banned by ${msg.author} for "**${reason}**"`)
msg.channel.send(confir);
msg.delete();
}
<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false -->
<!-- language: lang-html -->
const { Discord } = require("discord.js");
exports.run = async(client, msg, args) => {
if(!msg.member.hasPermission('BAN_MEMBERS')) return msg.reply('You do not have permission to use this command!')
var user = msg.mentions.user.first() || msg.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);
if(!user) return msg.reply('You did not mention a user for me to punish!')
var member;
try {
member = await msg.guild.members.fetch(user)
} catch(err) {
member = null;
}
if(member){
if(member.hasPermission('MANAGE_MESSAGES')) return msg.reply('You cannot ban a fellow staff member!');
}
var reason = args.splice(1).join(' ');
if(!reason) return msg.reply('Please make sure to specify a reason for me to punish this user!')
var channel = msg.guild.channels.cache.find(c => c.name === 'mod-logs');
var verify = msg.guild.emojis.cache.find(emoji => emoji.name === 'white_check_mark')
var log = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('0xecd776')
.setDescription(`${verify} ${user} has been kicked by ${msg.author} for "**${reason}**"`)
channel.send(logs);
var userLog = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('0xecd776')
.setDescription(`You have been banned from the server! Thats sadge. You can appeal the ban by message a staff member!`)
try {
await user.send(userLog);
} catch(err) {
console.warn(err);
}
msg.guild.members.ban(user);
var confir = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('0xecd776')
.setDescription(`${verify} ${user} has been banned by ${msg.author} for "**${reason}**"`)
msg.channel.send(confir);
msg.delete();
}

You can try this code:
const CUser = message.mentions.users.first() || message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]) || message.guild.member(message.author);
let member
if (message.mentions.members.first()) {
member = CUser
} else {
member = CUser.user
}
instead of your:
var user = msg.mentions.user.first() || msg.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);
if(!user) return msg.reply('You did not mention a user for me to punish!')
var member;
try {
member = await msg.guild.members.fetch(user)
} catch(err) {
member = null;
}
Please note this code was written on discord.js version 12.5.3

discord.js error "channel is not defined"

So im making a mute command which creates a mute role and gives it to the mentioned user, and currently i am getting an error: channel is not defined,
I do not know how to fix this error and i need help with this
module.exports = class MuteCommand extends BaseCommand {
constructor() {
super('mute', 'moderation', []);
}
async run(client, message, args) {
if (!message.member.hasPermission("MUTE_MEMBERS")) return message.channel.send("You do not have Permission to use this command.");
if (!message.guild.me.hasPermission('MANAGE_ROLES')) return message.channel.send("I do not have Permission to mute members.");
let reason = args.slice(1).join(' ');
let roleName = 'Muted';
let muteRole = message.guild.roles.cache.find(x => x.name === roleName);
if (typeof muteRole === undefined) {
guild.roles.create({ data: { name: 'Muted', permissions: ['SEND_MESSAGES', 'ADD_REACTIONS'] } });
} else {
}
muteRole = message.guild.roles.cache.find(x => x.name === roleName);
channel.updateOverwrite(channel.guild.roles.muteRole, { SEND_MESSAGES: false });
const mentionedMember = message.mentions.member.first() || message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);
const muteEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setTitle('You have been Muted in '+message.guild.name)
.setDescription('Reason for Mute: '+reason)
.setColor('#6DCE75')
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter(client.user.tag, client.user.displayAvatarURL())
.setImage(message.mentionedMember.displayAvatarURL());
if (!args[0]) return message.channel.send('You must mention a user to mute.');
if (!mentionedMember) return message.channel.send('The user mentioned is not in the server.');
if (mentionedMember.user.id == message.author.id) return message.channel.send('You cannot mute yourself.');
if (mentionedMember.user.id == client.user.id) return message.channel.send('You cannot mute me smh.');
if (!reason) reason = 'No reason given.';
if (mentionedMember.roles.cache.has(muteRole.id)) return message.channel.send('This user has already been muted.');
if (message.member.roles.highest.position <= mentionedMember.roles.highest.position) return message.chanel.send('You cannot mute someone whos role is higher and/or the same as yours');
await mentionedMember.send(muteEmbed).catch(err => console.log(err));
await mentionedMember.roles.add(muteRole.id).catch(err => console.log(err).then(message.channel.send('There was an issue while muting the mentioned Member')));
}
}
I beileive that there could be even more errors than i think in this code as I am fairly new to coding.

You have used "channel" without declaring it. Hence, it is undefined.
check your line "channel.updateOverwrite(channel.guild.roles.muteRole, { SEND_MESSAGES: false });"
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js')
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});
client.on('message', msg => {
if (msg.content === 'ping') {
msg.channel.send('pong');
});
});
