How to Link Department Servers to a Main Discord (Networks, 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
- Citizen access: anyone with your main server's access role (for example Whitelisted) automatically gets access in each department server, and loses it when they lose the role.
- Rank links: a department rank can mirror a role in the main server, one way, so ranks show up in the hub.
- Network bans: a ban in one server warns the others with Ban here / Ignore buttons, or bans everywhere if the hub turns on auto-ban.
- Roster: every department's linked ranks in one list.
How to set it up
- Your main server (the hub) needs Business and the Nodariq Network add-on.
- In the hub's dashboard, open Staff → Network and create your network. You get a join code.
- In each department server, add Nodariq and enter the code in the same Network page.
- Approve each department from the hub.
- 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.
