Invite the bot¶
Add LogDog from the dashboard while setting up your server, or use the invite link below.
Manage Server or server ownership is required to invite the bot. To complete LogDog setup and change its settings, you need Administrator or server ownership.
Choose your server, keep the requested permissions selected, and authorize. If the server does not appear, check your Discord account and permission to add apps.
Why LogDog requests permissions¶
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links | Post log messages and feature panels. |
| Attach Files | Send setup assets and CSV exports. |
| Read Message History | Retrieve and update LogDog's messages and panels. |
| Manage Channels | Create channels in Express/Prebuilt setup and create or rename the member-count channel. |
| Manage Roles | Assign and remove Discord roles for account linking. LogDog's role must be above those roles. |
| Create Events | Create and update LogDog's scheduled Discord events. |
The dashboard installation flow can also request View Audit Log in Discord to identify who invited the bot for its welcome message. This is optional and separate from VRChat View Audit Log, which is required for logging.
Optional features may need other permissions, such as Add Reactions for announcement status reactions. See the permissions matrix.
Channel access¶
Channel permissions can override the bot's server permissions. Give LogDog access to each channel where it needs to post. Diagnostics on the dashboard shows permission problems after installation.
New log categories are intended to be private to administrators. If setup warns that it could not make a category private, fix its permissions before using it for staff logs. Existing categories keep their permissions.
