Permissions
Make sure the user has sufficient permission to execute Application Commands (slash-commands in earlier versions).
This permission can be used to restrict access to bots, but is usually enabled for @everyone by default
If the permissions are all set, but certain users are still not able to use slash-commands, the discord application might be setup incorrectly. Tell the affected user(s) to open their user settings and navigate to the Text & images section.
In the lower part of said settings page, you can find an option to toggle the usage of slash-commands.
Make sure the user has the permission to Use Application commands.
This is a recently introduced discord permission, and can control the access to bot commands.
By default @everyone is allowed to use slash-commands.
