# Quick Start

This tutorial assumes you have already added the bot to your Discord server.\
If you haven't, please follow our [introduction](/introduction.md#adding-exoguard-to-your-server) before you come back to this page.

***

Once you have invited the bot, here are the most important steps to follow:

1. As the server owner, [setup the audit webhook](/tutorials/audit-webhook-setup.md#setting-the-audit-webhook) (recommended)
2. As a staff member, [enroll with Exoguard](/tutorials/enroll-yourself.md) on the Discord server
3. As an administrator, [assign a role](/commands.md#config-roles-add) to the enrolled staff member
4. As an enrolled staff member, [log in](/commands.md#login) to obtain your assigned role

You can then configure the integration to your needs whenever you want:

* The default session timeout is 8 hours, [it can be configured](/commands.md#config-settings-session_timeout) between 1 and 24 hours
* Default permissions work but may not be ideal, please [check out our recommendations](/tutorials/permissions.md#recommendations)

***

If you need more features or higher limits, check out our [subscriptions](/service/subscriptions.md) to get:

* Your very own `dis.gg` link upon request, for a fancier Discord server invite to share
* More roles per user and more users in total, for bigger and/or more complex teams
* An unrestricted session timeout, for uses that may not fit our standard use-cases
* Temporary role assignments, for server staff members on a fixed term or on trial
* An enrollment inactivity period, to automatically unenroll inactive staff members
