Verification ​

Bulwark's Verification System helps protect your community from raids, spam bots, and malicious users by requiring members to verify before gaining access to your server.

Verification is one of the most effective security measures available and integrates directly with AntiRaid and Account Scanner.

Overview ​

When a member joins your server, they can be assigned an Unverified Role that restricts access until they successfully complete verification.

After verification:

txt
✓ Unverified Role Removed
✓ Verified Role Added
✓ Security Log Created
✓ Access Granted
