Guides

Use Soler with a real operations playbook.

This page is built to help owners, reviewers, session hosts, and support staff run Soler cleanly. Treat it like the product handbook for setup, workflow, and daily decisions.

Recommended order Do these first
  1. Connect the Roblox group and ranking account
  2. Configure logs, permissions, and membership-gated features
  3. Sync the roster and set minimum tracked rank
  4. Configure requirements, sessions, and leave policy
  5. Move real promotion decisions into the board workflow

Quickstart

Set the foundation before staff start touching the workflow.

Step 1 Basic

Connect the group and ranking account

Open Settings first. Connect the Roblox group, confirm the ranking account cookie, and check the cookie rank limit before anybody uses website rank actions.

Where to click Dashboard -> Settings -> Core configuration
  • Use the right group ID
  • Verify the ranking account is actually in the group
  • Keep the cookie rank limit in mind for who staff can rank on the website
Step 2 Basic

Configure logs and permissions

Set your log channel and alerts channel, then map Discord roles to website permissions so staff only see what they should handle.

Where to click Dashboard -> Settings -> Access and core configuration
  • Owners keep full access automatically
  • Review who can promote, manage sessions, manage warnings, and view logs
  • Basic servers should expect premium sections to stay hidden
Step 3 Basic

Run the first roster sync

Once the group is connected, sync the roster and use the minimum synced Roblox rank if you only want staff and operational ranks in Soler.

Where to click Dashboard -> Members -> Sync roster
  • That keeps general members out of the ops workspace
  • Members above the cookie rank stay visible but website rank actions are hidden
  • Profiles become your main place to inspect readiness and history
Owner checklist

Before you hand Soler to staff

  • Logs and alerts channels set
  • Permission roles mapped
  • Roster synced successfully
  • Rank requirements reviewed
  • Session and leave policy configured if you use them
Common mistake

Do not skip configuration order

Most setup pain comes from staff trying to use sessions, warnings, leave, or promotion review before channels, permissions, or requirements are configured. Use the setup checklist in the dashboard alongside this page.

Owner guides

Use these when you’re configuring policy, permissions, and premium workflows.

Permissions Basic
Set access by workflow, not by trust alone

Use permission roles to decide exactly who can open logs, handle sessions, issue warnings, move reviews into the board, or touch sensitive settings. The goal is to reduce accidental access, not just lock people out.

Where to click Dashboard -> Settings -> Access -> Staff access levels
1

Create viewer roles for staff who only need dashboards and member visibility.

2

Separate promotion reviewers from staff who only handle sessions or warnings.

3

Keep permission mapping owner-only so staff cannot silently widen access.

Requirements Advanced
Align rank rules with the activity system you actually use

Requirements should only depend on enabled metrics. If you are not using hosted sessions, points, or attendance, keep those requirement values at zero so they do not accidentally affect readiness or inactivity.

Where to click Dashboard -> Settings -> Operations -> Promotion rules
Good setup

Only enable minutes, attendance, and time in rank if those are your real promotion standards.

Bad setup

Leaving a metric enabled “just in case,” then wondering why readiness or inactivity looks wrong later.

Plans and feature gates Basic
Know what Basic and Advanced should control

Basic should stay focused on core operations. Advanced should carry the workflows that add deeper staffing context and automation.

Basic works best for
  • Dashboard and members
  • Manual rank actions
  • Core logs and permissions
  • Basic roster workflow
Advanced works best for
  • Promotion board
  • Sessions and activity
  • Warnings and leave workflows
  • Role sync and automation

Staff guides

These are the daily workflows your team will actually live in.

Reviewer Advanced

Promotion reviewer

Use member case files and the Promotion Board together. Readiness is where candidates surface. The board is where formal decisions should happen.

Where to click Dashboard -> Promotion Board and Members -> select member
Session host Advanced

Session operator

Create sessions, track attendance, and keep game links correct per session type so records stay useful later.

Where to click Dashboard -> Sessions
Moderator Advanced

Warning and leave staff

Use warnings, leave, and notes as case context. The goal is to help promotion reviewers understand a member, not bury the story in Discord.

Where to click Dashboard -> Warnings, Leave, and Members -> case file
Promotion board Advanced
From readiness to decision

Readiness answers “who looks promotable.” The board answers “what decision did staff make, with what context, and why.” Keep those two ideas separate.

Where to click Dashboard -> Promotion Board or Dashboard -> Move to promotion board
1

Move eligible members from readiness into the board instead of approving directly from the queue.

2

Open the case detail, read the requirement snapshot, activity snapshot, warnings, leave, and reviewer history.

3

Approve, deny, mark needs info, or cancel with a note so the next staff member understands the decision trail.

Use “Needs info” when

You are waiting on follow-up, clarification, or more staff input. This keeps the case open without pretending the member is denied.

Use “Cancel” when

The review is no longer valid for the current rank or should be closed without treating it like an approval or denial.

Case file Advanced
Read the member before acting

The case file is now the one place where a member’s operational story should come together. Staff should not have to rebuild context from memory.

Where to click Dashboard -> Members -> click a member card
1

Check the summary strip first: promotion status, warnings, leave, inactivity, and activity totals.

2

Read the pinned note if there is one. Treat it like the main handoff note for the member.

3

Use the timeline to confirm what actually happened before issuing another action.

Sessions Advanced
Track real attendance and hosted work

Sessions are useful because they feed requirements, activity, and case context. If session setup is vague, every downstream workflow gets weaker.

Where to click Dashboard -> Sessions and Settings -> Operations -> Session announcements
1

Enable sessions, pick the session channel, and set the default session embed message in Settings.

2

Add session types like training, patrol, or raid and set a game link for each if you want the embed button to stay useful.

3

When a session is completed or cancelled, Soler updates the same announcement so staff are not chasing multiple messages.

Activity Advanced
Only track the metrics your group actually needs

Activity is modular. Use it to support your real operational standards, not as a giant generic stat bucket.

Where to click Dashboard -> Activity and Settings -> Operations -> Promotion rules
Good fit

Minutes, hosted sessions, attendance, points, or a custom metric that your promotion rules already care about.

Good habit

Use the activity page to edit mistakes and reset the leaderboard only when you intentionally want totals and attendance history cleared.

Leave Advanced
Handle LOA without losing promotion context

Leave requests should start pending and move through staff approval. Once active, they can excuse inactivity and optionally block promotion review.

Where to click Dashboard -> Leave and Settings -> Operations -> Leave policy
1

Members or staff submit the request, but it stays pending until someone with leave approval access acts on it.

2

Use the Leave view as the queue. Do not run approvals through DMs or side chats if you want the case history to stay clean.

3

Check how your leave settings affect inactivity and promotion review before assuming a blocked case is a bug.

Downloads and modules

Use the game assets that match the workflow you want to run.

Rank Center, Application Center, activity integration, and premium modules work best when they feed back into the same website workflows instead of acting like separate systems.

Rank Center Advanced

Best when you want in-game rank purchase flow and want the resulting actions visible in website logs and analytics later.

Where to click Dashboard -> Downloads
Application Center Advanced

Best when you want a structured in-game intake path before a member enters the main promotion or staffing workflow.

Where to click Dashboard -> Downloads
Activity Integration Advanced

Best when your in-game systems need to feed minutes, sessions hosted, points, or custom operational totals into the dashboard.

Where to click Dashboard -> Downloads and Dashboard -> Activity

Troubleshooting

When something looks wrong, check these first.

Why can’t staff see a page or action?

Check the permission role mapping, then check whether the server’s membership plan actually unlocks that feature. Hidden panels are usually permission or plan gating, not broken UI.

Why is someone missing from readiness?

Check whether they meet requirements, whether a denied review or warning is blocking them, whether leave is blocking review, and whether their rank rules actually use the activity metrics you enabled.

Why does roster sync feel smaller than the group?

If minimum synced rank is set, Soler only keeps members at or above that rank in the operational roster. That is expected and helps performance.

Why don’t website rank actions show for some members?

Members at or above the ranking account’s cookie rank limit stay visible, but website rank actions are intentionally hidden for safety.
