Role Bindings - Advanced Guide

Role Bindings automatically assign Discord roles based on Roblox group membership and ranks. This guide covers advanced configurations beyond the basics in the Getting Started guide.

​
How Role Bindings Work

1

User verifies

User links their Roblox account with /verify
2

System checks groups

Technified checks which Roblox groups they’re in
3

Compares ranks

For each group, checks if their rank matches any binding
4

Assigns roles

Gives all matching Discord roles
5

Auto-updates

Repeats this process when ranks change

​
Rank Ranges

​
Min and Max Rank

Each binding can specify a range of ranks: Example:
  • Min Rank: 50
  • Max Rank: 100
  • Discord Role: @Member
Who gets the role:
  • Rank 50 ✅
  • Rank 75 ✅
  • Rank 100 ✅
  • Rank 49 ❌ (below minimum)
  • Rank 101 ❌ (above maximum)

​
Common Patterns

Min: 255, Max: 255 → @Owner
Only rank 255 gets the role (exact match)

​
Multiple Bindings Strategy

​
Non-Overlapping Ranks

Best for: Clear role hierarchy 
Rank 1-49:   @Guest
Rank 50-99:  @Member
Rank 100-254: @Moderator
Rank 255:    @Owner
Advantages:
  • Clear, no overlap
  • User gets exactly one role
  • Easy to understand

​
Overlapping Ranks

Best for: Multiple role categories 
Rank 1-255:   @Verified (everyone)
Rank 50-255:  @Member (rank 50+)
Rank 100-255: @Staff (rank 100+)
Rank 200-255: @Admin (rank 200+)
Advantages:
  • Users can have multiple roles
  • Cumulative permissions
  • @Staff inherits @Member + @Verified
Use overlapping bindings when you want cumulative roles. Use non-overlapping when you want exclusive roles.

​
Multiple Groups

​
Cross-Group Bindings

Users can be in multiple groups and get roles from each: Example:
  • User is rank 100 in “Main Group” → Gets @MainStaff
  • User is rank 50 in “Dev Group” → Gets @Developer
  • User has both roles simultaneously

​
Group-Specific Roles

Group 123456:
  - Rank 50-255 → @MainMember

Group 789012:
  - Rank 50-255 → @DevMember
Users get different roles depending on which groups they’re in.

​
Auto-Sync Behavior

​
When Roles Update

Roles automatically update when:
  1. User verifies (/verify)
  2. User’s Roblox rank changes (checked periodically)
  3. User manually syncs (/sync)
  4. Admin force-syncs (/force_sync @user)
  5. New bindings are created

​
Sync Frequency

  • Manual sync: Instant
Technified currently don’t have an automatic sync Frequency, roles will only be given if the user uses /verify or sync.

​
Advanced Configurations

​
Tier System with Base Roles

Binding Setup:
1. Rank 1-255   → @Verified     (base role)
2. Rank 50-255  → @Member       (adds member access)
3. Rank 100-255 → @Staff        (adds staff perms)
4. Rank 200-255 → @Admin        (adds admin perms)
5. Rank 255     → @Owner        (owner only)
Result for rank 200 user:
  • @Verified ✅
  • @Member ✅
  • @Staff ✅
  • @Admin ✅
  • @Owner ❌

​
Department-Based Roles

Main Group:
  - Rank 50-99   → @Junior
  - Rank 100-199 → @Senior

Dev Group:
  - Rank 1-255   → @Developer

Mod Group:
  - Rank 1-255   → @Moderator
Users can have roles from multiple groups based on their memberships.

​
Role Priority & Hierarchy

​
Discord Role Hierarchy

Role bindings respect Discord’s role hierarchy: 
Higher in list = Higher priority

@Owner       ← Highest
@Admin
@Moderator
@Member
@Verified    ← Lowest
Important: Make sure Technified’s bot role is above all roles it needs to manage. Otherwise, it can’t assign them.

​
Managing Role Order

1

Open Discord Settings

Go to Server Settings → Roles
2

Drag to Reorder

Drag roles up/down to set hierarchy
3

Put Bot Role High

Ensure Technified’s role is above all managed roles
4

Save

Changes apply immediately

​
Troubleshooting

Check:
  • User is verified (/verify)
  • User is in the correct Roblox group
  • User’s rank falls within the binding range
  • Technified’s role is high enough in hierarchy
  • Binding is saved and active
Solution: Use /force_sync @user to manually trigger an update
Cause: You may have reached a limit or have conflicting bindingsSolution:
  • Review existing bindings
  • Consolidate where possible
  • Remove unused bindings
Cause: Multiple bindings match, or rank range is incorrectSolution:
  • Review all bindings for that group
  • Check for overlapping ranges
  • Verify min/max ranks are set correctly

​
Best Practices

Before creating bindings, sketch out:
  • What ranks exist in your Roblox group
  • What Discord roles you want
  • How they map to each other
This prevents confusion later.
Match Discord role names to Roblox ranks when possible:
  • Roblox: “Moderator” → Discord: @Moderator
  • Makes system easier to understand
Before going live:
  • Create bindings
  • Test with a test Discord + Roblox account
  • Verify roles assign correctly
  • Adjust as needed
Keep a document with:
  • Which bindings you created
  • What each binding does
  • Any special cases or exceptions
Makes troubleshooting easier.
As your server evolves:
  • Check bindings still make sense
  • Remove unused ones
  • Adjust ranges if group structure changed
