Set up Xattix anti-impersonation protection in minutes.
This guide walks server owners through the practical setup path: invite the bot, protect staff roles, choose sensitivity, configure actions, and verify that alerts reach your moderation team.
Quick setup checklist
Use this flow for a clean rollout in a live Discord server.
Before you start
- Identify admin, moderator, signal caller, support, or VIP roles worth protecting.
- Choose where alerts should be sent.
- Decide whether new members should use the Identity-Bound Join Portal.
After setup
- Run a controlled test with a clearly fake lookalike account.
- Whitelist expected edge cases if needed.
- Review dashboard logs after the first day of monitoring.
Setup steps
The wizard handles the critical choices, and the dashboard lets you refine them later.
1. Subscribe and invite
Activate Xattix Shield from pricing, then use the install link to add the bot to the server you want protected.
2. Run the wizard
The guided wizard walks through protected roles, detection sensitivity, alert routing, automated actions, and cleanup options.
3. Select protected roles
Protect the people attackers are most likely to copy: owners, admins, moderators, signal callers, support, or public-facing staff.
4. Tune sensitivity
Start with a preset, then adjust matching thresholds after you see real server behavior.
5. Configure response
Choose whether Xattix alerts only, auto-kicks high-confidence threats, or lets moderators decide with one-click actions.
6. Review and iterate
Use the dashboard and audit log to review alerts, kicks, joins, whitelist actions, and blacklist history.
Recommended first settings
Start conservative, then increase automation once your moderators trust the signal quality.
| Server type | Protected roles | Suggested posture |
|---|---|---|
| Trading or Web3 | Signal callers, admins, analysts, support | Medium or high sensitivity with fast alerts and optional auto-kick for high-confidence matches. |
| Gaming or creator | Owner, moderators, event staff, support | Medium sensitivity, one-click moderator actions, and roleless cleanup after rollout. |
| Private paid community | Staff, VIPs, coaches, official accounts | Join Portal enabled with one-time access codes and audit review. |
Successful rollout checklist
Use this before moving from setup to real enforcement.
Permissions look right
Confirm Xattix can see members, read profile updates, send alerts, and take the actions you enabled.
Alert channel is monitored
Route alerts to a staff channel where moderators can review similarity evidence and act quickly.
False-positive path exists
Know who can whitelist a legitimate edge case before you enable more automated response settings.
Troubleshooting first installs
Most setup issues come from Discord permissions, role hierarchy, or unclear protected-role choices.
Bot cannot kick
Move the Xattix role above roles it needs to manage and verify the bot has the required moderation permission.
Too many early alerts
Start at medium sensitivity, whitelist safe cases, and raise automation only after moderators trust the signal quality.
No alerts appear
Confirm protected roles are selected, the alert channel is configured, and test with a controlled lookalike account.
