Use Cases for Discord Integrator
Discord Single Sign-On using Joomla OAuth / OIDC SSO
Joomla OAuth SSO allows users to authenticate with their Discord credentials, without having to create a new account on the Joomla website. This is achieved by using the OAuth 2.0 / OIDC protocol to authenticate the user's Discord credentials.
Requirement:
Customer has a Discord server and a Joomla website, and wants to allow users to easily log into the Joomla website using their Discord credentials. Also whenever the user performs the SSO it will auto-create an account on Joomla website.
Solution:
This use-case satisfied by using Joomla OAuth Client Single Sign-On (SSO) Plugin. This
plugin allows
users to authenticate with their Discord credentials, without creating a new account on the Joomla
website.
When a user clicks the "Login with Discord" button on the Joomla website, users are redirected to the
Discord server, where they can enter their Discord credentials and authenticate themselves.
Once the user is authenticated, Discord sends an authorization code back to the Joomla website, which
can be used to request an access token from Discord.
The Joomla website uses the access token to retrieve the user's Discord profile information, such as
their username and email address.
The Joomla website creates a new user account or login the user to their existing account, using the
user's Discord credentials. This means that users do not have to create a new account on the Joomla
website and can simply use their Discord credentials to login.
Role Mapping from Discord to Joomla and Vice versa
Role Mapping allows admins to map Discord roles to Joomla user groups and vice versa, making it easier to manage user permissions and access control
Requirement:
A website admins wants to integrate their Joomla website with their Discord and wants to ensure that user Roles/Groups are consistent and updated across both platforms. However, managing user roles manually on both platforms is time-consuming and error prone. How can the website administrator automates the process of managing user roles or groups between Discord and Joomla?
Solution:
This use-case is satisfied by using Discord Joomla role mapping plugin, this plugin
allows
you to map user roles between Discord and Joomla.

- When user Joins discord having any group:
When a user joins the Discord community, their Discord roles or groups can be automatically mapped to Joomla user groups. It means users will be added to the appropriate Joomla user group based on their Discord roles. For example, if a user has the "Moderator" role on Discord, they can be mapped to the "Moderator" user group on Joomla. This ensures that users have the appropriate level of access and permissions on both platforms. - When user role is updated on Discord end:
When a user's role is updated on Discord, the role mapping can be automatically updated on Joomla end also. It means the user's Joomla user group can be updated according to their updated Discord role. For example, if a user's "Moderator" role is removed on Discord, their mapping can be updated to remove them from the "Moderator" user group on Joomla. - When user role is updated on Joomla end:
When a user's group is updated on Joomla, the role mapping can be automatically updated on Discord as well. It means the user's Discord roles can be updated according to the Joomla user group. For example, if a user is added to the "Moderator" user group on Joomla, they can be given the "Moderator" role on Discord as well.
Overall, Role Mapping is a valuable feature for anyone who wants to integrate Discord and Joomla and maintain consistent user roles across both platforms.
User Sync between Discord and Joomla
User Sync allows website admins to synchronize user data between Discord and Joomla,
ensuring that user accounts are updated across both platforms. Using the same plugin you can sync the user's
profile picture from Discord to Joomla and vice versa.
In this process users are updated to Joomla websites automatically. As this is not a one way process, it's a
both way process. As a user updates their details on Joomla end, it is automatically updated on Discord end
also.
Requirement:
A website admins wants to integrate their Joomla website with their Discord server, and also wants to ensure that user accounts are consistent and updated across both platforms. However, managing user accounts manually on both platforms is time-consuming and may cause errors. How can the website admins simplify the process of managing user accounts across Discord and Joomla?
Solution:
The solution is to use the Joomla Discord User sync feature that is present in the Joomla
Discord Integration plugin which automatically synchronizes user data between Discord and Joomla and vice
versa.
Let see how it works :-
- New User Joins the Discord:
When a new user joins the Discord community, their account details are automatically synced with the Joomla website. This means that the new user is created as a Joomla user, with their account details matching their Discord account. The website admins do not need to manually create a new user account for the new user on the Joomla website. - Existing user updates their details:
When an existing user updates their account details (such as their username or email address) on Discord, the changes are automatically synced with the Joomla website. This means that the user's account details are updated on the Joomla website as well, ensuring consistency across both platforms. The admin does not need to manually update the user's account details on the Joomla website. - When user is deleted in Discord:
When an existing user is deleted from Discord, their user account is automatically deleted from the Joomla website as well. This ensures the user's account is completely removed from both platforms, and there are no unused accounts.
