Seat Discord Connector

A SeAT plugin which maintain user access on a Discord Guild based on defined pattern.

Thanks to Warlof Tutsimo for writing the original plugin. Development has been taken over by zenobio93 from 23. December 2023. To find the applied changes, please consult the git history.

Setup

Create Application

• Go to the following url in order to create an application and retrieve bot token.
• Give it a name and suitable description; so user will be able to know what it is related to later.
• On sidebar, click on Oauth2 > General and hit the Add Redirect button twice and seed spawned field with the address bellow :
  • {seat-public-url}/seat-connector/registration/discord/callback
  • {seat-public-url}/seat-connector/settings/discord/callback
• On sidebar click on Bot and hit the Add Bot button
  • Check Public Bot
  • Check Requires OAuth2 Code Grant
  • Check Server Members Intent

NOTE

For example, if you have SeAT available on seat.example.com, the callbacks will be

• https://seat.example.com/seat-connector/registration/discord/callback
• https://seat.example.com/seat-connector/settings/discord/callback

But, if you're accessing SeAT using example.com/seat, the callbacks will become

• https://example.com/seat/seat-connector/registration/discord/callback
• https://example.com/seat/seat-connector/settings/discord/callback

Retrieving Credentials

Once your application has been created, we will need to retrieve credentials which will be used later in order to setup the connector into SeAT.

Go on the following url and click on the box which is matching to the previously created application.

Take a note of the following information :

• From the sidebar, under Oauth2 > General
  • Client ID which is a displayed number
  • Client Secret which is a strange text (hit the Click to reveal link)
• From the sidebar, under Bot
  • Token which is a strange text (hit the Click to Reveal Token link).

Install Package

Since SeAT 3.0 - it's become super easy to install package. Just require warlof/seat-discord-connector, publish vendor and run migrations scripts :)

• Firstly, run the following command composer require warlof/seat-discord-connector
• Finally, run migrations scripts with php artisan migrate

Don't forget to restart supervisor with service supervisor restart (or your seat-worker container if you're under Docker) ;)

IMPORTANT

All upper command have to be run using the SeAT instance user www-data, seat or whatever you've done with your installation. They need to be run at root SeAT directory which used to be /var/www/seat

Setup Package

Authenticate yourself using admin user on your SeAT instance. If all upper statements have been executed properly, you'll seed a new section into the sidebar called Connector.

Open it, then go into Settings and fill the form using collected information at the beginning of this Walkthrough.

Confirm using the Update button which will redirect you to Discord SSO.

In the list, select the server where the SeAT Bot have to be install, leave permissions as it and click on Authorize button.

My apologies for all that french stuff, but Discord SSO is using browser settings to show content. Despite of the language, content should be similar in all countries.

Once you've been redirected back to SeAT, you can select Discord and hit the Update Sets green button which will seed SeAT with Roles available on Discord.

Setup Access

To build the mapping between SeAT and Discord, go into Connector > Access Management. In case you're seeing no roles in the form, go into Connector > Settings and hit the Update Discord Sets button.

In Discord Connector, there are 6 kind of mapping called Filter. Their scope are explained in the table bellow.

To create a filter, simply fill the form available on the left accordingly to your needs. Then, hit the Add button. At all time, you're able to check which filter are set in the table available on the right side. You can also drop mapping using the red Remove button near each mapping line.

Linking Account and Getting Invitation

As user, you will see a section called Connector on the sidebar. Open it and click on Join Server.

This will redirect your to Discord SSO with a simple form informing you that the bot will be able to collect basic information (like your Discord Unique ID and Nickname), and granted to invite you on the attached Discord Server.

Simply confirm using the Authorize button which will redirect you to the SeAT homepage with a green confirmation box.

You'll be invited automatically to the Discord Server and attached channels.

Upgrade

If you're coming from a version prior to 4.x, you may want to convert your data into the new connector structure. To do so, run the command seat-connector:convert:discord - it will assist you in this process.

Callback URL have been changed, this mean you'll have to update your Discord Application.
