Create your first clan
Creating a clan takes about a minute. The one decision that matters is whether it stands on its own or mirrors a Roblox group, because that choice is hard to undo.
Before you start
- A linked Roblox account — see Create your account.
- For Group Mode: the numeric ID of a Roblox group you own.
The wizard
Start from Create Clan on the dashboard. The wizard is five steps at most, and every step has a Back button.
- Name your clan. This is how it appears to members. You can rename it later.
- Choose a mode. Group-less or Group Mode — see below.
- Group-less: confirm, and you are done. Group Mode: enter your Roblox group ID.
- Group Mode only — choose an auth method. OAuth or bot.
- Confirm. The clan is created and you land on its page.
Group-less or Group Mode
| Group-less | Group Mode |
|---|---|
| Members press a join button in Archievery | Members join your Roblox group |
| You build the rank ladder yourself | Ranks mirror the group's roles |
| Rename and reorder ranks freely | Roblox owns rank names and structure |
| No Roblox group needed | You must own the group |
| Transfer ownership in the dashboard | Ownership follows the group on Roblox |
If your clan already lives in a Roblox group, Group Mode saves you from running two member lists. If it doesn't, Group-less is less to manage. Connect a Roblox group goes into what changes.
OAuth or bot
Group Mode needs permission to act on your Roblox group. There are two ways to give it.
| OAuth | Bot |
|---|---|
| Uses your own Roblox account's authorisation | An Archievery bot is added to your group |
| Syncs straight away | The clan starts pending until we add the bot |
| Needs an authorisation you have already granted | Nothing to set up in advance |
A bot-mode clan works from the moment it is created. It shows members and ranks from Archievery; it just can't push changes back to Roblox until the bot has been added.
