Connect Roblox Cloud
Required Creator OAuth so RankForge can rank and manage your group.
Required per group
Linking a Roblox account for verify is not enough. Each community needs its owner to Connect Roblox Cloud once (reconnect anytime if tokens expire or you change owners).
Open Cloud rate limits
Ranking writes use Roblox Open Cloud (
cloud/v2). Roblox limits how fast those APIs accept changes. Heavy promote, demote, or join traffic can return 429. RankForge retries using Retry-After when possible. Space out bulk actions so officers and game scripts stay responsive. The authorize path oauth/v1 is Roblox's OAuth 2.0 token endpoint name. The strict limits apply to Open Cloud write calls after you connect.What it does
Connect Roblox Cloud starts Roblox Creator OAuth for your group. RankForge stores that connection and uses it for Open Cloud writes (promote, demote, set rank, and pending joins) from Discord, the dashboard, and the Forge API.
Scopes
openid/profile: identify the authorizing Roblox usergroup:read: read group membership and ranksgroup:write: change ranks and membership
How to connect
- Open your group dashboard in the dashboard.
- Find the Roblox Cloud banner (marked Required until connected).
- Click Connect Roblox Cloud and approve with the Roblox account that owns the group.
- When it shows Active, ranking and join tools unlock.
Not the same as Link Roblox
Sidebar / settings Link Roblox (or /verify) only proves Discord ↔ Roblox identity with openid profile. It does not grant group write. Officers still verify that way; only the owner (or reconnecting owner) runs Connect Roblox Cloud.
Reconnect or disconnect
- Reconnect if ranking starts failing after a long idle period, you revoked the app on Roblox, or ownership moved.
- Disconnect removes the stored Creator tokens for that group until you connect again.
