Temporary Dashboard Access

A short-lived link that gives one trusted person owner-level dashboard access.

Temporary Dashboard Access lets you create a short-lived link that gives owner-level dashboard access to the first person who opens it. It is useful when you want a trusted friend or a Ticket King community helper to do a quick setup or fix something on your dashboard, without permanently adding them to a role.

What to know first

  • Only one link can be active at a time. Trying to make a second one shows an error.

  • The link binds to the first person who opens it. After that, no one else can use it.

  • The bound user cannot change dashboard permissions, even with full access. This stops a temporary visitor from making their access permanent.

On the Permissions page, in the Temporary Dashboard Access card:

1

Length options

Option

30 minutes

1 hour

Default

3 hours

6 hours

Pick the shortest length that gets the job done.

Send the link in a Discord DM, never in a public channel. Anyone who has the link can claim it until it expires or you revoke it, so treat it like a password.

After it is claimed

The "Bound To" tile changes from "Not yet claimed" to the person's name, and the link can no longer be claimed by anyone else. The bound user can now use your dashboard with owner-level access, except they cannot change dashboard permissions.

Revoking

Click Revoke Link in the active-link card and confirm. Revoking is immediate. If the person is in the middle of using the dashboard, their next action ends it.

When it expires

When the time runs out, their access ends automatically and they need a new link to continue.

Only the server owner, a Discord Administrator, or a role with Full Access can generate a link. If you cannot, you will see: "Only the server owner or a role with full access can generate an access link."

Recorded in the audit log

Generating, claiming, and revoking a temporary access link are all recorded in your audit log.

Good practice

  • Use the shortest length that works.

  • Send the link by DM only.

  • Revoke it when the work is done.

  • Check the "Bound To" tile shows the person you sent it to. If not, someone else opened it first, so revoke it right away.
