Discord.py | How can i add role to members?

Question

I was wondering how I can set a role for a member, after he reacted to an emoji. I've tried several ways but it hasn't worked anything yet.

AttributeError: 'Guild' object has no attribute 'add_roles' I always get this error, I tried to replace Guild with User, Payload or Member, but it doesn't find it anyway

I have two file in my 'cogs' folder:

• roles.py - Handles the message with reactions (This file works perfectly)

• reaction.py - 'Listen' to the reactions to the message

import discord
import asyncio
import emoji
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import get

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/',preload=True)

class Reaction(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_raw_reaction_add(self, payload):
        guild_id = payload.guild_id
        guild = self.client.get_guild(guild_id)
        user_id = payload.user_id
        user = self.client.get_user(user_id)
        message_id = payload.message_id
        channel = self.client.get_channel(payload.channel_id)
        emoji = payload.emoji.name

        if message_id == 809523588721934336 and emoji == "????" and user_id != 799612948213399572:

            message = await channel.fetch_message(message_id)
            await message.remove_reaction("????", user)
            dev = get(guild.roles, id=799632281639321632)
            await guild.add_roles(dev)

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(Reaction(client))

I think it makes sense, how are you supposed to add a role to a guild? You must add it to a discord.Member instance, you can get it with payload.member

dev = get(guild.roles, id=799632281639321632)
member = payload.member
await member.add_roles(dev)

Also remember that you must have intents.members enabled
