Roblox Group Integration for Automatic Admin Ranks

BAR can automatically assign admin tiers based on Roblox group membership, eliminating the need to maintain manual User ID lists for group-based games. When a player joins, BAR checks their group rank against every entry in the Group Configuration table and grants the corresponding admin level if the conditions are met.

Group Configuration Structure

The Group Configuration table lives inside main_script.lua and contains an array of entries. Each entry defines one rule that maps a group rank (or range of ranks) to a BAR permission level.

['Group Configuration'] = {
    {
        ['Group ID'] = 0,
        ['Group Rank'] = 0,
        ['Tolerance Type'] = '>=',
        ['Admin Level'] = 0,
    },
},

Field Reference

number

required

The numeric ID of your Roblox group. You can find this in the URL of your group’s page:
https://www.roblox.com/groups/12345678/group-nameDefault: 0 (inactive — see warning below)

number

required

The group rank number to compare against. Roblox group ranks range from 1 to 255. This value is used together with Tolerance Type to determine whether a player’s rank qualifies.

string

required

The comparison operator used to evaluate the player’s rank against Group Rank. See the table below for all valid options.Default: '>='

number

required

The BAR permission level (1–4) to grant when the rule matches. Corresponds to the standard rank tiers: 1 = Moderator, 2 = Admin, 3 = Super Admin, 4 = Game Creator.

Tolerance Type Options

Tolerance	Meaning
`>=`	Player’s rank is greater than or equal to the threshold
`<=`	Player’s rank is less than or equal to the threshold
`==`	Player’s rank is an exact match of the threshold
`>`	Player’s rank is strictly above the threshold
`<`	Player’s rank is strictly below the threshold

Multiple Group Entries Example

You can add as many entries to the array as you need. Each entry is evaluated independently, so a player can match multiple rules (they will receive the highest applicable level).

['Group Configuration'] = {
    -- Grant Moderator (level 1) to anyone ranked 50 or above
    {
        ['Group ID'] = 12345678,
        ['Group Rank'] = 50,
        ['Tolerance Type'] = '>=',
        ['Admin Level'] = 1,
    },

    -- Grant Admin (level 2) to members ranked exactly 200 (e.g. a staff rank)
    {
        ['Group ID'] = 12345678,
        ['Group Rank'] = 200,
        ['Tolerance Type'] = '==',
        ['Admin Level'] = 2,
    },

    -- Grant Super Admin (level 3) to members ranked 240 or above (e.g. leadership)
    {
        ['Group ID'] = 12345678,
        ['Group Rank'] = 240,
        ['Tolerance Type'] = '>=',
        ['Admin Level'] = 3,
    },

    -- A second group — grant Moderator (level 1) to all members of an allied group
    {
        ['Group ID'] = 87654321,
        ['Group Rank'] = 1,
        ['Tolerance Type'] = '>=',
        ['Admin Level'] = 1,
    },
},

Group Configuration entries supplement the manual admin ID lists in Super Admins, Admins, and Mods — they do not replace them. A player can receive admin access through either a User ID entry or a matching group rule, whichever applies. Both sources are checked on join.

Setting Group ID to 0 (the default) does nothing. A Group ID of 0 is a placeholder that BAR ignores. You must replace it with your actual Roblox group ID before group-based rank assignment will work. Leaving the default entry unchanged will not cause errors, but no group rules will be applied.
