Grant audit-log access

This is the one setup step that happens on the VRChat side. LogDog's account has joined your group — now you give it permission to read your group's audit log, which is what it relays to Discord.

Which account?

During setup, LogDog tells you exactly which VRChat account joined your group (its username and a profile link), in the "Step 6 · Joined — one more step" message. Grant access to that account. The steps below refer to it as "the LogDog account."

Give the account the View Audit Log permission

The cleanest approach is a dedicated role for LogDog:

  1. Open your group on the VRChat website or in-app and go to Group → Settings → Roles.
  2. Create a role (e.g. LogDog) — or pick an existing one you'll assign to the account.
  3. Enable the View Audit Log permission on that role.
  4. Assign the role to the LogDog account (the username shown in the setup message).

That's it. LogDog re-checks access automatically every minute or so and posts 🎉 Setup complete! in your setup channel once it can read the log. Events start arriving immediately after.

Prefer not to make a new role?

You can instead enable View Audit Log on any role the LogDog account already has. The only requirement is that the account ends up with that permission.

Keep the access in place

LogDog needs View Audit Log for as long as you want logging to continue. If the account is later removed from the group, or the permission is revoked, LogDog pauses and posts an alert — see Managing your configuration.

Troubleshooting

Setup isn't completing after I granted access
  • Double-check you granted View Audit Log to the same account shown in the setup message (not a different bot or your own account).
  • Make sure the role with the permission is actually assigned to that account.
  • Give it a minute — verification runs on a short interval, not instantly.
  • Still stuck? See the FAQ.
I don't see a Roles section / can't edit permissions

Only group owners and members with role-management permission can edit roles. Ask whoever owns or administers the VRChat group to perform these steps, or to grant you the ability to manage roles.
