# Roblox Integration

> Connect your Roblox group and let BloxCord do the rest. With an Open Cloud API key and an organization cookie, BloxCord can rank members, manage bans, detect alternate accounts, and perform actions on your behalf, all without leaving the dashboard.

## Open Cloud API Key

Your Open Cloud API key is BloxCord's direct connection to Roblox. It allows BloxCord to securely communicate with Roblox through the Creator Hub, unlocking core features across the platform. We recommend configuring one even if you don't plan on ranking members, as it's the safest and most reliable way to authenticate.

<Info>
  Create the key in the [Roblox Creator Hub](https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/credentials) with **Groups** and **User Restrictions** set to **Read & Write**. It's verified with Roblox before we store it, and it's encrypted at rest.
</Info>

**What Open Cloud unlocks:**

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Group Ranking" icon="arrow-up-right">
    Promote, demote, suspend, and set member ranks directly in your Roblox group from anywhere in BloxCord.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Machine Bans" icon="ban">
    Ban a player across every alt account they own straight from the logbook, powered by Roblox's Alt Bans API.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Organization Cookie

Not everything is available through Open Cloud yet. For those features, BloxCord uses a **.ROBLOSECURITY** cookie from a dedicated bot account that you control. Configure it once alongside your Open Cloud API key, and every Roblox integration in BloxCord is ready to go.

<Warning>
  Use a dedicated bot account with only the ranking permissions it needs, never your main. The cookie is encrypted and never shown again after you save it.
