Invite your staff and members
Choose how people join, share the join key or an invite link, and decide what joining grants.
Set how people join in Admin, General, Joining, and what joining gives them in Admin, Joining. Both need community.settings.
Join modes
- Open: anyone with the key or an invite joins at once.
- Approval: join requests wait for staff on Members, Pending.
- Application: people apply with the community form first. See Applications.
Share the join key or an invite link
- The join key is one key for the whole community, shown once. Regenerate Join Key makes a new one and the old one stops working.
- Create Invite Link on Members makes a link such as
app.statewide.gg/join/<code>, shown once. Invite links don't expire and have no use limit.
People paste either into Join With Key. See Join a community.
Require Discord
Require a linked Discord account keeps members without a linked Discord account from joining or using the community until they link one. New communities start with it on.
Joining grants
On Admin, Joining (the page is Joining and departments), choose what joining gives. Departments give everything else, Civilian included, through their ranks.
Main only
Joining gives the Member role only. Members play civilians once they hold a seat in the Civilian department: by join code, by application, or added by staff on the roster. This is the default for new communities.
Main and Civilian
The Member role also carries civilian access. If you have a Civilian department, each new member also gets a reserve seat there, unless the Civilian entry rank's role grants more than civilian access.
Switching to Main only shows a dry run first and places members in Civilian so they keep their characters. Switching back leaves existing Civilian seats as they are.
