I'm trying to make a role assigning bot using reactions on a special message. The tricky part is keeping the reactions consistent. I want to pre-populate the roles with users who already have them when I create the message. I also want to prevent users from removing their reaction for one role without choosing another. I've seen a bot like this: when I attempted to remove my reaction to my role the bot re-added it for me. However I couldn't find any API which would allow adding a reaction on someone's behalf. Nor could I find any way to prevent a user from removing their reaction on a message. How did it do that? Do I miss something? Or is it an undocumented API feature?

As far as I know, you can't force add reactions as a user. If you still know what's the name of the bot that did that let me know and I'll try figure it out.
The only thing you can do is remove a reaction from a user.
You can't also prevent the user from adding/removing reactions. You can only prevent them from adding a reaction with a new emoji (users with Send Messages permission can add new emojis to the reaction. So if a message has only 2 emojis as reactions, he can add a 3rd, but if he doesn't have that permission he can only add reactions with the emojis already present)
