Trusted Admins
Owners can give their admins access to certain resources on SCNX easily using the Trusted Admins feature on SCNX.
Included in these plans
Setup
Only grant Trusted-Admin-Permissions to users you fully trust - they will be able to interact with SCNX in your name. Please review the section about this feature in our Terms of Service.
To add a new user as a Trusted-Admin, please make sure they have logged in into SCNX at least once - you can send them this link to log-in: https://scnx.app/auth/login. Once they have confirmed that they have logged into SCNX, you can continue with this guide.
To add a new Trusted-Admin, visit your server settings page in your SCNX Dashboard and scroll to the "Trusted-Admins" section. Next, click on "Add Trusted-Admin" to show the Trusted-Admin-Modal. Here you can enter the Discord username or User-ID of the Trusted-Admin you want to add — the user will be looked up automatically and a preview will be shown once found. You can also configure their permissions (please review the permissions section first!) and optionally set an access expiration duration. Once done, save the changes to grant access.
Manage
To change the permissions of a Trusted-Admin, simply open the server settings page in your SCNX Dashboard and scroll to the "Trusted-Admins" section and click on your Trusted-Admin. The Trusted-Admin-Modal will show up - here you can change their permissions and access expiration. To save changes, please click on "Save changes". To remove the access of a Trusted-Admin, click on "Remove Access" in the Trusted-Admin-Modal.
Access expiration
You can set an expiration duration for a Trusted-Admin's access. When the access expires, the Trusted-Admin will automatically lose access to your server on SCNX. The following durations are available:
- 1 Hour — useful for short troubleshooting sessions
- 1 Day — for temporary access during a specific task
- 1 Week — for short-term project collaborations
- 1 Month — for longer-term access
- Never — access does not expire (default)
You can change the expiration at any time by editing the Trusted-Admin. The current expiration date is shown in the Trusted-Admin-Modal.
Permissions
The following permissions can be given via Trusted-Admin-Permissions:
| Permission | Explanation |

| Administrator | This user can do most actions on your guild, expect things that are limited to the server-owner. |

Additionally, every Trusted-Admin has a baseline of permissions:
- View every setting (and change some) in the server settings tab
- View Metadata about your server (like name, icon, owner, …)
- View purchase data about your server (this includes transaction history, but never personal data of subscriptions)
- Upgrade or set-up subscriptions for your server
- Top-Up AI-Credits on your server
Trusted Admins (without the Co-Owner permission) never can:
- enable new products (like Custom-Bot, Modmail-Bot, Analytics, …) on your server
- change the token of any bot created on SCNX
- add, change permissions or remove Trusted-Admins from your server - only the server owner and co-owners can do that
- delete products from your server or remove the server from SCNX
- purchase products in your name or with your payment methods
- consent to our staff to run potentially destructive actions
Co-Owners can:
- enable new products (like Custom-Bot, Modmail-Bot, Analytics, …) on your server
- change the token of any bot created on SCNX
- add, change permissions or remove Trusted-Admins from your server
- delete products from your server or remove the server from SCNX
- consent to our staff to run potentially destructive actions
Co-Owners can never purchase products in your name or with your payment methods
Trusted-Admins can no longer access your server when they leave it (or get removed).
Administrator managed servers on SCNX
By default, when an owner adds a server on SCNX, only the server owner can access the SCNX dashboard. However, when a server has been added to SCNX by an administrator, the server will be managed by Administrators on that server.
When a server is managed by Administrators, all members of your server who have the Administrator permission on Discord will be treated as Co-Owners, meaning that they will be able to set up SCNX products, but also can remove the server from SCNX. Learn more in our permissions section.
If you are the server owner, you can change this setting at any time in your server settings. When changing to "All administrators", all members on your server with the Administrator permission will receive the Co-Owner permission on your server. If changing to "Owner only", all members who have received access due to their Administrator permission will immediately lose access to the dashboard. Any Trusted Admins configured by the Administrators or by you will still be able to access your server.
While we try to synchronize changes on your server immediately, it might take a while for permissions changes to be reflected on your server.
Troubleshooting
The user I want to add is not found
When entering a Discord username or User-ID, the modal will automatically look up the user. If the user is not found, this means they have not logged into SCNX yet. To fix this:
- Ask the user to visit scnx.app and log in with Discord
- Make sure the username or User-ID is correct
- Try again after they have created their account
You can enter either a Discord username (e.g. username) or a User-ID (e.g. 123456789012345678).
To obtain a Discord-ID, follow this
Discord Guide.
My Trusted Admin is shown a "No permissions on this server" error in the dashboard
Please make sure you have assigned the right permissions to your Trusted-Admin. You can easily edit the permissions of the Trusted-Admin by following this section about managing Trusted-Admins.
My Trusted-Admin can not set up a Custom-Bot, Modmail-Bot, …
Trusted Admins can not run sensitive actions like enabling or deleting products, unless you grant them the "Co-Owner" permission. To do so, give them the "Administrator" permission. Once done, you will be able to grant the "Co-Owner" permission.
My Trusted-Admin can not find my server in their server list
- Please make sure the user is signed in with the same account you have granted access to
- Ask them to refresh the Server-List using the "Refresh data"-Button on the bottom of the page
- Make sure the Trusted-Admin is a member of your server - only server members can be Trusted-Admins.
