| 7 | +Get started with Linked Roles on your Discord to improve your user experience by displaying important roles of users |
| 8 | +next to their names. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +:::success What is this? |
| 11 | +Unsure what Linked Roles are? Linked Roles allow you to display the role of a user next to their username, like this: |
| 12 | + |

| 14 | + |
| 15 | +If you want to learn more about Linked Roles, you can do so in our [About Linked Roles](./linked-roles/intro) section. |

| 17 | +::: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +:::warning This feature is Early Access |
| 20 | +Linked roles are Early Access. This means that in addition to a paid plan, |
| 21 | +a [membership](https://membership.scootkit.com) with Early Access is also required. Early Access helps us invest money & |
| 22 | +time in developing new features and products. We plan to make this feature available to everyone with Unlimited / |
| 23 | +Professional plan without memberships in late Q2 2025. |

| 32 | +Our developer Simon is happy to guide you through this setup process in |
| 33 | +our [tutorial video on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR3yvTVpkOI). This video is in German right now, but |
| 34 | +we're working on an English translation. |

| 38 | +## 0. Pre-Flight-Checklist 🛫 {#step-0} |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Before you can create your own Modmail on SCNX, please make sure that |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +* you have [added your Server to SCNX](./setup). |
| 43 | +* your server has the paid [Unlimited](./scnx/guilds/plans) (<PlanPrice plan="UNLIMITED" type="MONTHLY"/>) |
| 44 | + or [Professional](./scnx/guilds/plans) (<PlanPrice plan="PROFESSIONAL" type="MONTHLY"/>) plan, or consider using a |
| 45 | + free trial, if |
| 46 | + available for you. |
| 47 | +* you are the owner of the server you want to enable this feature |
| 48 | + on ([why?](./scnx/guilds/trusted-admins#troubleshooting)) - if you are not the owner, please ask them to enable this |
| 49 | + feature for you and grant you access as a [Trusted Admin](./scnx/guilds/trusted-admins). |
| 50 | +* you (or one of your trusted admins) have Early Access (purchasable with |
| 51 | + a [ScootKit Membership Level 2 or higher](https://membership.scootkit.com)) during the beta trial. After the beta |
| 52 | + trial ends (likely in Q2 2025), this requirement will be removed. |
| 53 | +* you've got 5-10 minutes of time (our estimate is that this takes around six minutes to finish on a computer, on mobile |
| 54 | + it may take |
| 55 | + a bit longer) to finish this guide - don't stop in the middle; your progress won't be saved. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +## 1. Time to get started {#step-1} |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +To get started with the setup, please open the [Linked Roles page](https://scnx.app/glink?page=linked-roles/enable) of |
| 60 | +your server in the SCNX dashboard. There, click on "Start setup" to get started. You might be shown a video or a link to |
| 61 | +this guide, but you can also click "Continue" there, since you are already here :wink: |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## 2. Select credentials {#step-2} |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Next, SCNX will prompt you to select which Discord credentials you want to use for Linked Roles. If you are using other |
| 66 | +SCNX products, like [Modmail](./modmail/intro) or the [Custom Bot](./custom-bot/custom-commands), you can select them |
| 67 | +from this list and [skip to step 3](#step-3). If you are not using any other product, please follow [these instructions](#step-2-app). |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +### Creating a Discord bot application {#step-2-app} |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +If you are not using the credentials of another product, you'll need to create a new app in your Discord Developer Dashboard. |
