In any active Discord server, clarity is key. How can members instantly recognize staff in a busy chat? SCNX is thrilled to introduce Linked Roles, a powerful feature that displays a user's most important role—like "Admin" or "Moderator" —as an official tag right next to their username in every message. This is more than a cosmetic update; it's a fundamental upgrade that brings immediate authority, trust, and professionalism to your community's conversations.

The Strategic Advantage of Linked Roles​

Linked Roles transform a simple permission set into a dynamic tool for community management.

  • Instant Authority and Trust: A visible tag like "Moderator" immediately gives weight to a user's message, making moderation and official announcements more effective without members needing to check a profile.
  • A Polished, Organized Look: Clearly identified staff and key members make a server feel more curated and professional, helping to attract and retain users who value structure.
  • Enhanced Member Recognition: Use Linked Roles to publicly reward valuable members with tags like "VIP" or "Contributor", creating a powerful incentive for others to engage more deeply with the community.

The SCNX Advantage: Powerfully Simple​

SCNX has engineered Linked Roles to be flexible and user-friendly, removing the technical barriers typically associated with this feature.

  • No-Code Setup: While setting up linked roles can be complex through Discord's developer tools, SCNX provides an intuitive dashboard that guides you through the process in minutes, no coding required.
  • Deep Customization: Tailor the user authorization page with over 30 themes and custom branding to match your server's aesthetic. The page also supports multiple languages automatically. For a fully integrated feel, the Professional Plan allows for the removal of SCNX branding.
  • Flexible Management: Easily assign or remove roles from the SCNX dashboard. A unique "Public Role" option allows any server member to claim a specific role, streamlining onboarding for roles like "Verified Member".
  • Dedicated Support: Get expert help with any questions on the official SCNX Discord server, with support available in English and German.

A Quick Guide to Implementation​

The SCNX dashboard makes the setup process straightforward.

Prerequisites​

Setup Overview​

  1. Connect SCNX and Discord: The SCNX dashboard will guide you through creating a Discord Application and securely linking it to the SCNX platform.
  2. Create and Link Your Role: First, create the Linked Role in your SCNX dashboard. Then, create a corresponding standard role in your Discord server's settings. In that role's "Links" tab, add a requirement and select your application and the role you just created.
  3. Ensure Visibility: For the role tag to appear in chat, you must go into the Channel Settings for every relevant channel, add the new role, and grant it the "View Channel" permission.

The Seamless Member Experience​

Claiming a role is simple for your members. They just click the server name, select "Linked Roles," and choose the role they wish to claim. This directs them to the custom authorization page. After a one-time approval, they can claim any future roles without repeating the process. Members can also easily remove the role tag themselves from their server profile.
