discord.py How to add Mute command

Question

I'm making a discord bot and I really want to make a mute command to mute toxic users. This is the code I've currently done, this isn't the rewrite version.

    @bot.command(pass_context = True)
async def mute(ctx, user_id, userName: discord.User):
    if ctx.message.author.server_permissions.administrator:
        user = ctx.message.author
        role = discord.utils.get(user.server.roles, name="Muted")
        await client.add_roles(user, role)
     else:
       embed=discord.Embed(title="Permission Denied.", description="You don't have permission to use this command.", color=0xff00f6)
       await bot.say(embed=embed)

I rewritten my code and got a working peice of code, here it is if others need it :)

@bot.command(pass_context = True)
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member):
     if ctx.message.author.server_permissions.administrator or ctx.message.author.id == '194151340090327041':
        role = discord.utils.get(member.server.roles, name='Muted')
        await bot.add_roles(member, role)
        embed=discord.Embed(title="User Muted!", description="**{0}** was muted by **{1}**!".format(member, ctx.message.author), color=0xff00f6)
        await bot.say(embed=embed)
     else:
        embed=discord.Embed(title="Permission Denied.", description="You don't have permission to use this command.", color=0xff00f6)
        await bot.say(embed=embed)

you should use this :

await member.edit(mute = True)

What is your question?

I want to know how to make a mute command. Up above is my current code and it doesnt work and I dont know how to fix it.

"Why isn't my code working" is considered off topic on Stack overflow.

and if you know how, how would I also add a time interval e.g >mute @toxicuser 60m

@chrisz No it's not. @Leighton. Keep a dictionary or set of Users that have been muted, and the mute command just adds them to that list. Then in your on_message event you can call delete_message on their messages. See this similar question about muting channels

Welcome to Stack Overflow. When posting modified code as an answer, please help the OP and other users understand what you fixed and why with a written explanation. "I fixed some things" requires people to both hunt for the changes and, when they have found them, wonder why you have changed these things.

message.author.id is an int so you should do ctx.message.author.id == 194151340090327041
