How to Configure Discord-Based Whitelisting in FiveM Delete

How to Configure Discord-Based Whitelisting in FiveM | EUGameHost

Set up Discord-based whitelisting to control who can join your FiveM server using Discord roles.

This allows you to automatically grant access, staff permissions, and whitelist status based on roles inside your Discord server.

Difficulty: Intermediate
Time Required: 10 Minutes

What You Need

For Discord role syncing, the most common setup uses:

• Badger Discord API
• DiscordAcePerms

These resources connect Discord roles to FiveM ACE permissions.

Step 1: Create a Discord Bot

Go to the Discord Developer Portal.

Click:

New Application

Create a new bot application.

Go to:

Bot

Enable:

Server Members Intent

This is required for role syncing.

Step 2: Get Your Bot Token & Server ID

Copy your Bot Token.

Then enable Developer Mode in Discord and copy your Server ID (Guild ID).

Step 3: Add to server.cfg

Open your server.cfg.

Add:

set DiscordBotToken "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"
set GuildID "YOUR_SERVER_ID"

Replace both values with your actual token and server ID.

Example:

set DiscordBotToken "abc123token"
set GuildID "123456789012345678"

Step 4: Set Role Permissions

Open the config file for DiscordAcePerms.

Add your Discord role IDs.

Example:

roleList = {
    ['123456789012345'] = "group.admin",
    ['987654321098765'] = "group.whitelisted"
}

Replace the numbers with your actual Discord role IDs.

Step 5: Get Role IDs

In Discord, right-click the role and click:

Copy ID

Paste the role ID into the config.

Step 6: Restart Your Server

Restart your server from the EUGameHost Game Panel.

Watch the console to confirm the Discord bot connects successfully.

Common Use Cases

Staff Permissions

Admin role = group.admin

Server Whitelist

Verified role = group.whitelisted

Players without the role can be blocked from joining.

Best Practice

This is the easiest way to automate:

• whitelisting
• staff access
• police / EMS permissions
• auto onboarding

No manual Steam ID management needed.
