Background Checks

Verify Roblox users against account age, group ranks, and badge counts before granting access.

What are Background Checks?

Background Checks let you vet Roblox users from the dashboard before granting them access, roles, or entry into a restricted experience. They run server-side using your Open Cloud API key, so there is no in-game script requirement.

Configuration

Define requirements once in the Background Checks tab, then run checks on demand or as part of your onboarding flow.

  • Account Age — minimum days since account creation. Useful for filtering out new or alt accounts.
  • Groups — require membership in specific Roblox groups at minimum ranks. Great for clan or military games.
  • Badge Count — minimum number of badges on the account. Useful for experience-curated whitelisting.

You can combine all three requirements. A user must pass every check to be marked as approved.

Running Checks

Enter a Roblox username or ID into the Background Checks tab and run the check. Results show:

  • Pass/fail per requirement with exact values, not just a binary result.
  • Actual account age, group membership, rank numbers, and badge counts.
  • Avatar and profile metadata to help operators identify who passed or failed.

Background checks are stored in history for the game. Use them to audit who was vetted, when, and whether they passed or failed.

Use Cases

  • Group recruitment — verify applicants meet rank and account age requirements before accepting.
  • Event access — restrict VIP or tester access based on badge count and account maturity.
  • Moderation — quickly pull context on a suspicious account during a Discord review.

Limits

Background checks count against your daily live action quota if they exceed the included allowance. Check your plan in the Plans & Limits docs for exact numbers.
