Many RoUtilities features require a Roblox bot account to function. A bot is a separate Roblox account that performs automated actions on behalf of your group, such as changing ranks, tracking activity, and processing purchases. This guide will walk you through creating and connecting a bot account.
What Is a Roblox Bot?
A Roblox bot is a separate Roblox account that you use specifically for automation. The bot account needs to be a member of your group and have appropriate permissions to perform actions like changing ranks, viewing member lists, and accessing group information. The bot acts as an intermediary between RoUtilities and your Roblox group.
Important
You should NEVER use your main Roblox account as a bot. Always create a separate account specifically for bot purposes. This protects your main account and makes it easier to manage permissions.
Step 1: Create a Bot Account
First, you need to create a new Roblox account that will serve as your bot.
1.1 Create New Roblox Account
- Go to roblox.com and click "Sign Up"
- Create a new account with a clear bot name (e.g., "YourGroupName_Bot")
- Use a secure password and enable two-factor authentication
- Verify the email address
- Complete the account setup
Naming Your Bot
Choose a name that clearly indicates it's a bot for your group. This helps other group members understand its purpose and prevents confusion. Examples: "MyGroup_Bot", "MyGroupAutomation", or "MyGroupServices".
Step 2: Add Bot to Your Group
Your bot needs to be a member of your Roblox group with appropriate permissions.
2.1 Invite Bot to Group
- Log in to Roblox with your main account (the group owner account)
- Go to your group's page
- Click "Members" → "Invite Members"
- Enter your bot account's username
- Send the invitation
- Log in with your bot account and accept the invitation
2.2 Set Bot Permissions
- In your group, go to "Members"
- Find your bot account
- Click on the bot's name
- Set the bot's rank to one that has the necessary permissions:
- For rank management: Needs permission to change ranks
- For activity tracking: Needs permission to view members
- For general features: Usually needs at least a mid-level rank
- Save the changes
Security Note
Don't give your bot owner permissions unless absolutely necessary. Give it only the minimum permissions needed for the features you're using. This limits potential damage if the bot account is compromised.
Step 3: Get Your Bot's Cookie
To connect your bot to RoUtilities, you need to provide your bot's .ROBLOSECURITY cookie.
3.1 How to Get Your Cookie
- Log in to Roblox.com with your BOT account (not your main account)
- Open your browser's Developer Tools:
- Chrome/Edge: Press F12 or Right-click → Inspect
- Firefox: Press F12 or Right-click → Inspect Element
- Safari: Enable Developer menu first, then Cmd+Option+I
- Go to the "Application" tab (Chrome) or "Storage" tab (Firefox)
- In the left sidebar, expand "Cookies" → "https://www.roblox.com"
- Find the cookie named ".ROBLOSECURITY"
- Copy the entire cookie value (it's a long string of characters)
Security Warning
NEVER share your .ROBLOSECURITY cookie with anyone! This cookie gives full access to the account. If someone gets your cookie, they can:
- Access your account
- Change your password
- Spend your Robux
- Delete your account
Only enter your cookie on official RoUtilities pages. If you suspect your cookie has been compromised, immediately change your password and get a new cookie.
Step 4: Connect Bot to RoUtilities
Now that you have your bot's cookie, you can connect it to RoUtilities.
4.1 Connect in Dashboard
- Log in to your RoUtilities dashboard
- Navigate to the feature you want to use (Rank Management, Activity Tracking, etc.)
- Find the "Bot Configuration" or "Connect Bot" section
- Click "Connect Bot" or "Configure Bot"
- Paste your bot's .ROBLOSECURITY cookie
- Click "Connect" or "Save"
- Wait for the system to verify the connection
4.2 Verify Connection
- After connecting, the system will test the bot
- Check that the bot's username appears correctly
- Verify the bot's permissions in your group
- Test a simple action (if available) to confirm it's working
Step 5: Troubleshooting Connection Issues
If you're having trouble connecting your bot, try these solutions:
5.1 Common Issues
- Cookie Invalid: Your cookie may have expired. Get a new one by logging out and back into Roblox with your bot account.
- Bot Not in Group: Make sure your bot account is actually a member of your group.
- Insufficient Permissions: Your bot needs appropriate permissions. Check the bot's rank in your group.
- Account Restrictions: Make sure your bot account isn't restricted or banned.
- Two-Factor Authentication: If 2FA is enabled, you may need to disable it temporarily or use an app password.
5.2 Reconnecting a Bot
If your bot gets disconnected:
- Get a fresh .ROBLOSECURITY cookie from your bot account
- Go to the bot configuration page
- Disconnect the old bot (if option available)
- Connect with the new cookie
- Verify the connection works
Best Practices
Follow these best practices to keep your bot secure and functioning properly:
- Use a Separate Account: Never use your main account as a bot
- Secure Password: Use a strong, unique password for your bot account
- Enable 2FA: Enable two-factor authentication on your bot account
- Regular Cookie Updates: Update your bot cookie every few months for security
- Monitor Activity: Regularly check your bot account for any suspicious activity
- Minimal Permissions: Only give your bot the permissions it needs
- Backup Cookie: Store your cookie securely (encrypted) in case you need to reconnect
