const user = message.author
if (message.channel.id === channelId) {
    if (!user.roles.cache.has(roleId)) { // "roles" is undefined??
        message.reply({ embeds: [new Discord.MessageEmbed().setColor('RED').setTitle('Verification').setDescription('Please wait.')] })
        setTimeout(() => {
            user.roles.add(roleId) // would probably be the same error here
        }, 1500)
    }

When using message.author, you get a User object which represents the global user. Instead, to access the roles property, you need to use a GuildMember object which represents a user in a guild. So, all you have to do to check all the roles a member has is by using one of these two methods:

• Fetching the member: If you want to fetch the member, you can get the user id by using message.author.id and then, fetch it from the guild. An example:

const userId = message.author.id
const member = message.guild.members.cache.get(userId) // or await message.guild.members.fetch(userId)
console.log(member.roles)

• message.member: A much easier way is by using this method. By using this, you automatically get the GuildMember details of the user who posted this message. An example:

const member = message.member
console.log(member.roles)
