Getting Started

This tutorial walks you through your first end-to-end XCS experience: creating an account, setting up your organization, linking your accounts, and exploring the dashboard.

​

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• A valid email address
• A Roblox account
• An invitation link

​

Step 1 — Create Your Account

1. Obtain an invitation link from your XCS provider.
2. Enter the required information and choose a password.
3. Click “Create Account.”

You will receive a verification email at the address you provided.

​

Step 2 — Create Your Organization

1. Log in to https://xcs.restrafes.co.
2. You will be prompted to create your first organization.
3. Enter a name for your organization (for example, your group name).
4. Add an optional description.
5. Click “Create Organization.”

You are now the owner of your organization.

​

Step 4 — Link Your Accounts

1. Go to Settings > Accounts.
2. Click “Link Discord Account.” Review the authorization dialog and authorize XCS on Discord.
3. Click “Add Roblox Account.” Review the authorization dialog and authorize XCS on Roblox.
4. Both accounts are now linked to your XCS profile.

​

Step 6 — Create a Location

1. From the dashboard, click on your organization name.
2. Go to the Locations section.
3. Click “Create Location.”
4. Give your location a name (for example, “Restrafes Headquarters”).
5. Configure the Roblox integration (optional — only needed for remote unlock):
   • Roblox Universe ID — Your experience’s universe ID from the Roblox Creator Dashboard
   • Open Cloud API Key — A valid Roblox Open Cloud API key with MessagingService permissions
6. Click “Save.”

​

Step 7 — Add an Access Point

1. From your location’s page, go to the Access Points section.
2. Click “Create Access Point.”
3. Give your access point a name (for example, “Main Gate”).
4. Add access rules. You can grant access by assigning:
   • Access groups — Select a pre-configured group of identities (e.g., “Staff”, “VIPs”)
   • Specific identities — Add individual XCS users, Roblox users, groups, cards, or PINs directly
5. Click “Save.”

​

What’s Next

Once you have an access point configured, try the following:

• Remote unlock from the dashboard — Click the unlock button on your access point to test the MessagingService integration
• Integrate with your Roblox game — Subscribe to the xcs-unlock-{locationId} topic in your game scripts to receive unlock commands
• Trigger unlocks via API — Use the Remote Unlock API to trigger unlocks programmatically
