Best Practices
Follow these recommendations to get the most out of Technified while keeping your server secure and well-organized.Security
Protect Administrative Access
Limit who has Manage Server permission
Limit who has Manage Server permission
Only give “Administrator” to trusted team members. These permissions grant full access to Technified’s dashboard and settings.
Use role hierarchy effectively
Use role hierarchy effectively
Position Technified’s bot role correctly:
- Above all roles it needs to manage
- Below only trusted admin/owner roles
- This prevents lower roles from assigning higher roles
Restrict powerful commands
Restrict powerful commands
In Command Permissions:
/config,/binding→ Administrators Only/force_sync→ Staff minimum/verify,/sync→ Everyone
Secure your API keys
Secure your API keys
- Never share Roblox Open Cloud API keys publicly
- Store them in secure locations (password managers)
- Regenerate immediately if compromised
- Use separate keys for test/production
Monitor audit logs
Monitor audit logs
- Check Discord’s audit log regularly
- Review Roblox group audit logs for Group Binds
- Look for unauthorized changes
- Set up log channels in Dashboard
Organization
Server Structure
Use clear role names
Use clear role names
Good:
- @Unverified,@Verified, @Member, @Moderator, @Admin
- @Role1, @Staff2, @RandomName
Match Discord and Roblox structure
Match Discord and Roblox structure
If possible, use similar naming and hierarchy in both Discord and Roblox:Roblox Group:
- Rank 50: Member
- Rank 100: Moderator
- Rank 200: Admin
- @Member (from rank 50)
- @Moderator (from rank 100)
- @Admin (from rank 200)
Document your configuration
Document your configuration
Keep notes on:
- Which bindings you created and why
- Priority system logic
- Special cases or exceptions
- API keys and their purposes
- Staff permission structure
Create a verification channel
Create a verification channel
Set up a dedicated channel:
- Only @Unverified can see it
- Instructions on how to use
/verify - Link to troubleshooting
- Support contact info
Role Binding Strategy
Plan before creating bindings
Plan before creating bindings
Before setting up bindings, decide:
- What Roblox ranks should map to what Discord roles
- Whether to use overlapping or exclusive ranges
- How to handle multiple groups
- Priority system if using Group Binds
Use non-overlapping ranges for simplicity
Use non-overlapping ranges for simplicity
Simple approach:Each user gets exactly one role. Easy to understand.
Or use overlapping for cumulative permissions
Or use overlapping for cumulative permissions
Cumulative approach:Staff get all lower roles too. Good for permission inheritance.
Leave gaps in priorities
Leave gaps in priorities
When setting Group Bind priorities:Gaps let you insert new tiers later without renumbering everything.
Test with an alt account first
Test with an alt account first
Before going live:
- Create test Discord + Roblox accounts
- Set up bindings
- Test verification and role assignment
- Verify everything works
- Then deploy to main server
Performance
Optimization Tips
Don't create excessive bindings
Don't create excessive bindings
Too many:
- 20+ bindings for one server
- Separate binding for every rank
- Overly complex setup
- 5-15 bindings per server
- Ranges instead of individual ranks
- Simple, understandable structure
Use rank ranges, not individual ranks
Use rank ranges, not individual ranks
Instead of:Do:Much more efficient!
Optimize staff tracking
Optimize staff tracking
In Roblox Tracker config:
- Don’t log every tiny action
- Use batch logging when possible
- Set reasonable heartbeat interval (300s default is good)
- Cache staff status (already done automatically)
Member Experience
Onboarding
Create welcome instructions
Create welcome instructions
In your welcome channel:Clear instructions = less support requests.
Set up channel permissions correctly
Set up channel permissions correctly
Unverified users:
- Can see: #welcome, #verify, #rules
- Cannot see: Main channels
- Can see: Everything
Use nickname display for clarity
Use nickname display for clarity
Enable “Update Nickname on Verification” in General Settings.Makes it easy to:
- Identify members by Roblox name
- See who someone is in-game
- Moderate effectively
Provide support channels
Provide support channels
Create:
- #verification-help
- #role-issues
- Support ticket system
Dos and Don’ts
Do ✅

- Test changes before deploying
- Use clear, descriptive names
- Keep security tight
- Monitor logs regularly
- Provide member support
- Review settings periodically
Don’t ❌
- Share API keys publicly
- Grant admin access to everyone
- Create dozens of redundant bindings
- Skip testing new configurations
- Ignore security best practices
