About Linked Roles
Linked roles are Early Access. This means that in addition to a paid plan, a membership with Early Access is also required. Early Access helps us invest money & time in developing new features and products. We plan to make this feature available to everyone with Unlimited / Professional plan without memberships in late Q2 2025.
Linked Roles allow you to display the role of a user next to their name on your Discord server. To do this, the user needs to authorize with your Discord Bot and claim their role manually. Displaying the role next to the username makes your Discord appear professionally and increases the user experience on your Discord server; your users can see at a glance that they are talking to a staff member, to a moderator or to an admin.
Here's how Linked-Roles could look on your server:
How it works
To use Linked Roles, you'll need to first set up Linked Roles on your server. Once done, you can create and configure Linked Roles on SCNX and Discord which can be assigned to users. Once a linked role has been assigned to a user, the user can claim the role on Discord.
In contrast to actual roles on Discord, Linked Roles can't be directly assigned to members, instead, members will need to manually claim roles on Discord. After a user has claimed a role, the role can only be removed via the SCNX Dashboard.
Linked Roles can be displayed in the chat next to the username by configuring chat permissions. While a user can have multiple Linked Roles, only one can be displayed in a chat. Roles with a higher position on your Discord will be displayed with a higher priority. Having a Linked Role does not remove the role icon of another role.
To claim a Linked Role, users will need to authorize their account with your custom Discord application using a customizable authorization page. Once done, they'll be redirected back to Discord, where they can claim their role. Once authorized, future role changes can be claimed without the need of an additional authorization.
