Getting started with Dispatcher

Dispatcher brings your ER:LC server, your staff team and your moderation records into one place. This guide takes you from a new account to a working setup. It takes about five minutes.

1. Create your account

Click Get started and sign in with Discord. You'll then be asked to link your Roblox account, which lets Dispatcher match you to your in-game name.

2. Connect your server

On the My servers page, choose Connect your first server. You'll need your ER:LC private server key, which only the server owner can get from the private server settings in game (how to get it). Paste it in and Dispatcher checks it straight away.

Your key is stored on our side and is never sent to anyone's browser, including yours. Staff only ever act through Dispatcher, with the permissions their role gives them.

3. Set up your staff roles

Open your dashboard and go to Roles under Staff. Create a role for each rank in your team, such as Trial Moderator, Moderator and Admin, and turn on what each one is allowed to do:

• Warn, kick or ban players
• Run in-game commands
• Manage members, settings or automations
• View infractions and activity

4. Invite your staff

Go to Members and copy your invite code. Staff sign up, choose Join with a code on the My servers page and paste it in. Their request shows up in Members, where you accept it and give them a role.

5. Start moderating

Your staff open the moderator panel to see who's in the server, look up any player's record, and warn, jailban, kick or ban them, with every action logged and tied to the moderator who took it. Shifts started in the panel count towards each person's hours in Activity.

6. Optional extras

• Link your Discord server so actions are posted there (Discord alerts)
• Set hour targets per role in Activity
• Run session start-ups and votes from Sessions (SSU guide)
• Turn on Automations for welcome messages, announcements and new-account or RDM detection
• Save the commands you use most on the Commands page
• Check Audit Logs to see who changed what, and when

That's it. Everything in the dashboard can be changed later, so don't worry about getting it perfect on day one.
