Hello

is it possible to allow a user to add bot accounts? As far as i see there is a setting as described [here](https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/bot-accounts.html#configuration-settings)

But as a regular member of a team, I don’t see menu =\> integrations in order to add the bot account.

Is this a admin only thing?

@dakky The documentation you linked describes that “Bot accounts can only be created or managed by plugins or System Administrators.”
