General

What is FiveRoster?

FiveRoster is a roster management platform built for FiveM, Roblox, and Arma roleplay servers. It lets your community manage departments, track shifts, automate Discord roles, handle applications, issue strikes, run LOA calendars, and export PDF reports — all from one web dashboard and a Discord bot.

Which games does FiveRoster support?

FiveRoster supports FiveM, Roblox roleplay groups, and Arma milsim units. The core Discord role sync, shift tracking, org charts, and document features work for every platform. Platform-specific integrations (in-game scripts, MDT, tablet) are available for FiveM.

Do I need to host anything myself?

No. FiveRoster is fully hosted — you install the Discord bot to your server, log in with Discord on the website, and start building your roster. There is nothing to run on your own infrastructure.

How many servers can I manage with one account?

There is no cap on the number of Discord servers you can manage. Your free account gives you access to every server you own or administer.

Pricing & Plans

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes core roster management, Discord role sync, shift tracking with 30 days of history, the LOA calendar, and most admin features. You can run an entire roleplay community on the free plan without paying anything.

What does premium unlock?

Premium unlocks unlimited shift history, the certifications system, vehicle and uniform management, advanced PDF exports, custom roster themes, the FiveM API access, and a few other power-user features. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

Can I cancel premium at any time?

Yes. Premium is a monthly subscription with no contract. You can cancel from the dashboard at any time and retain premium access until the end of your billing period.

Do you offer refunds?

We offer refunds within the first 7 days of your initial purchase if you have a genuine reason the product does not fit your needs. Reach out to our support team on Discord.

Setup & Installation

How do I install the Discord bot?

Click "Install FiveRoster" on the homepage, authorise the bot to your Discord server, then log into the dashboard with your Discord account. Your servers will automatically appear for setup.

Does FiveRoster work with QBCore, QBox, ESX, and TMC?

Yes. FiveRoster is framework-agnostic — it works with QBCore, QBox, ESX Legacy, TMC, and any standalone FiveM server. Our optional in-game scripts integrate with every major framework.

How long does setup take?

A basic roster with ranks, statuses, and Discord role sync takes about 5-10 minutes to set up. A full configuration with custom columns, flags, certifications, and vehicle tracking can be completed in under an hour.

Can I import data from my existing spreadsheet or tool?

Yes. Our support team can help you migrate existing roster data. Reach out on Discord with a sample of your current data.

Discord Integration

How does Discord role sync work?

When a player is appointed to a rank, FiveRoster automatically assigns the Discord roles linked to that rank. When they are removed, those roles are revoked. The same applies to statuses and flags — every linked role stays in sync with the roster in real time.

What permissions does the bot need?

The bot needs the standard "Manage Roles", "Send Messages", and "Read Members" permissions. It must also be placed above the roles it manages in your Discord role hierarchy.

Can I use FiveRoster without Discord?

Discord is the primary authentication mechanism, so a Discord account is required. However, you can absolutely manage roster data, track shifts, and run everything else without using the Discord role sync features.

Features

Can I track officer shifts and duty hours?

Yes. Members can clock in and out from the dashboard or via an in-game script. FiveRoster tracks total duty hours, shows leaderboards, and exports PDF shift reports for any time range.

Does FiveRoster handle applications and recruitment?

Yes, through our integrated application manager. You can build custom application forms, review submissions, and appoint applicants straight to their rank in one click.

Can I issue strikes and set automated actions?

Yes. The strike system supports automated actions like "demote at 3 strikes" or "remove at 5 strikes". Strikes can be set to expire automatically, and every action is logged.

Is there a Leave of Absence (LOA) calendar?

Yes. Members can submit LOA requests through the public roster page, admins approve or deny them, and FiveRoster automatically updates the player status (or applies a flag) for the LOA period. Expired LOAs auto-revert.

Can I generate an org chart automatically?

Yes. The org chart is auto-generated from your rank structure and shows your entire department hierarchy with filled and vacant positions, including custom insignias.

Billing

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit and debit cards through our payment processor. All transactions are encrypted and we never store card details on our servers.

Is my payment information secure?

Yes. All payments are processed through PCI-compliant processors. We never see or store your full card details.

Do you offer discounts for large communities?

Reach out to us on Discord to discuss bulk pricing for large communities or multi-server deployments.
