# Roblox verification

> Members connect their Roblox account to Jellyn once. Jellyn then sets their nickname and gives the verified role in every server that turns verification on.

Verification ties a member's Discord account to their Roblox account. Jellyn uses it everywhere: to know which staff member is which player in game, to count playtime, to log from in game, and to fill in nicknames.

## For members

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in with Roblox on Jellyn">
    On Jellyn, open **Account settings** and connect your Roblox account. Roblox asks you to sign in and approve; Jellyn only reads your Roblox name and ID, and your Roblox password never leaves Roblox.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Get your role">
    In a server that turned verification on, your nickname and the verified role are updated within a few seconds. Or press **Update me** in the server's verification channel, or run `/verify`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

`/verify` also shows where you stand, and links you to Roblox sign-in if you haven't connected yet. You verify once: every server on Jellyn sees the same Roblox account.

## Turning it on for your server

Verification is on the **Discord** page of the dashboard, under **Verification**.

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Verify members** | Turns verification on. Nicknames and the role update within a few seconds of someone verifying, while the bot is online. |
| **Verify automatically** | Members who verify on Jellyn, or join already verified, get their nickname and role without pressing anything. Otherwise they press **Update me** or run `/verify`. |
| **Verification channel** | Where the verification message goes. Press **Post the verification message** to put it up. |
| **Nickname** | Their Roblox username, their Roblox display name, *Display name (@username)*, or leave nicknames alone. |
| **Verified role** | The role verified members get. |

<Warning>
  Jellyn can only give roles below its own, and Discord doesn't let bots change the server owner's nickname. Put Jellyn's role above the verified role in **Server Settings → Roles**.
</Warning>
