How to Link Department Servers to a Main Discord (Networks, 2026)

5 min read · Updated November 2026

Big communities often split into several Discord servers: a main server plus departments like police, fire, EMS or staff. Keeping roles and bans in sync by hand is a full-time job. Networks does it for you.

What a network does

How to set it up

  1. Your main server (the hub) needs Business and the Nodariq Network add-on.
  2. In the hub's dashboard, open Staff → Network and create your network. You get a join code.
  3. In each department server, add Nodariq and enter the code in the same Network page.
  4. Approve each department from the hub.
  5. Set the citizen access role and any rank links.

Department servers can stay on the Free plan. A network links up to 10 servers.

Safe by default

Nodariq never kicks anyone because of the network. Network bans warn by default; automatic bans only happen if the hub turns them on.

Questions

How much does a network cost?

The Nodariq Network add-on is $4.99/mo and needs Business ($9.99/mo) on the hub server. Department servers can be Free.

How many servers can I link?

Up to 10 department servers per network.

Is this only for roleplay servers?

No. It works for any group with several servers, like gaming clans, esports orgs or communities with a separate staff server.
