# Getting Started (/setup)











This gets Tickety into your server and ready for anything else in these docs. It takes about two minutes.

You need to own the server or have **Administrator** in it: Discord only lets you give Tickety permissions you have yourself.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### Invite Tickety [#invite-tickety]

    Open the [invite link](https://tickety.top/invite?ref=documentation).

    1. Pick your server under **Add to server**.
    2. Press **Continue**.

    On the next screen, keep every permission ticked and press **Authorize**. Tickety needs them to make ticket channels and post its messages.

    </div>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Open Settings [#open-settings]

    Open your [dashboard](https://tickety.top/dashboard), sign in with Discord and pick your server. Then click **Settings** in the sidebar on the left.

    If your server is not in the list, see [the dashboard does not list my server](/faq/servernotlisted).

  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Pick the admin role [#pick-the-admin-role]

    Under **Admin Role**, open **Administrator Role** and pick a role. A role is a group you give members in Discord, like Moderator.

    Tickety opens no tickets and accepts no applications until this is set. Members with this role can handle all of them.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Pick the log channel [#pick-the-log-channel]

    Under **Logging**, open **Logging Channel** and pick a private staff channel. Tickety logs what happens to tickets there: who opened, claimed and closed them.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Save [#save]

    A bar slides up at the bottom of the page. Press **Save Changes**. Tickety is ready.
  </Step>
</Steps>
