### Join Your Community
Wait for a member of your community's management team to add you as a staff member. If your community uses Discord permissions, you will need to link your Discord on [My Account](https://panel.staffwatch.app/my-account) page. With Discord sync, **permissions may take up to 10 minutes to update**. Periodically refresh the page and open the community switcher in the top-left. Once you are assigned a staff role, the community will be displayed under the "Available Communities" heading in the community switcher.

2. Open the profile, and scroll down until you find the "Claim this player" button.
