Configure Discord Single Sign-On (SSO) with Joomla OAuth Client Plugin

This guide explains how to configure our Joomla OAuth Client extension to enable users to log in to your website using their Discord accounts.

This integration is perfect for community-driven websites, such as those for gaming guilds, online courses, fan clubs, or collaborative projects. By connecting Joomla with Discord, you can offer a convenient social login option and, more powerfully, restrict website access to members of a specific Discord server or even those with particular roles. This creates a unified and exclusive experience, bridging your website content directly with your community activity on Discord.
