Player Panel

The Player Panel is the staff workspace for looking up players, linking and unlinking their game IDs, and giving members a self-service surface to manage their own linked accounts. Available in the dashboard and via /player panel in Discord.

One surface for everything identity. Members can view and link their own IDs; staff can look up any player across Discord, Steam, Xbox, and Alderon and link or unlink IDs on their behalf. Available in the dashboard or via /player panel in Discord.

What is this?

A two-mode panel. The Self-Service half lets a member view their own linked accounts and start a link / verify flow without staff intervention. The Admin half lets staff look up any player by Discord ID, Steam ID, or Alderon ID, plus link or unlink IDs on someone else's account when self-service isn't the right path (e.g., they no longer have access to the original Steam account).

Why you might want it

Identity is the load-bearing piece of moderation in game-server communities. If you can't tie a Discord user to the Steam account that joined a server, your strikes and bans only work on one surface. The Player Panel concentrates every identity action into one place so staff aren't hunting through three different commands.

Setup time: under a minuteDifficulty: Easy. Most users get through it first try.

How it appears in Discord

Staff with the panel_players capability can run /player panel in Discord to open the ephemeral staff panel below. Members with the relevant feature enabled can use the Self-Service half from the same surface.

Where it lives in the dashboard

On the dashboard the Player Panel is the first entry in the Panels sidebar section. In a gaming-context server it's labelled Player Panel; in a non-gaming server it appears as User Panel.

How to open this panel

From the dashboard

Pick your server in the sidebar, then click Panels → Player Panel. The page combines the lookup surface with quick action buttons.

From Discord

Staff with the panel_players capability run /player panel. Members with identity features enabled see the Self-Service half of the same dropdown.

What you can do from here

Look up a player

Search by Discord, Steam, or Alderon ID and see every linked identity tied to that player, with their full enforcement history. See Player Lookup.

Link or unlink a game ID

Either through self-service (member runs the OAuth flow themselves) or admin-side (you set the link manually when they can't do it). See Linking IDs.

Configure ID providers

Decide which providers are enabled for your server (Steam, Alderon, Xbox). See Player Settings.

Verify in-game

For game servers that use the SFTP log monitor, members can verify by typing a one-time code in game chat. See SFTP Log Monitoring.

Who can use this panel

Player Panel actions are split between member-facing self-service and staff admin tools; capabilities gate each side independently.

  • panel_players — opens the dashboard panel and the Discord /player panel command.
  • players_lookup — search for a player by any ID (Discord / Steam / Alderon / Xbox).
  • players_link / players_unlink — admin-side link and unlink actions on someone else's account.

Members never need any of these. Self-Service is available to everyone with identity features enabled; only the staff admin actions sit behind capabilities.
