Setting Up Your Group
Complete guide for raid leaders to create, configure, and manage a Viserio group
Create and Configure Your Group
This guide walks you through the full setup flow as a group admin — from creating the group to inviting your team and managing the roster.
In-App Checklist
Once you create a group, you'll see a Setup Checklist on your group page that tracks these steps automatically.
Create a Group
Head to the Groups page and click Create Group. Give it a name (your guild name works well). You'll automatically be the group's admin.
Link Your WCL Account
Go to Profile → Accounts and connect your Warcraft Logs account via OAuth. This enables guild discovery and report syncing for your group.
Link Your WCL Guild
Back on your group page, go to the Integrations tab. Use the guild picker to select the guild associated with your WCL account. This links reports and enables raid insights.
Import Your Battle.net Guild
Still on the Integrations tab, select your region, realm, and guild name to import your Battle.net guild roster. The character worker will fetch all members and their characters in the background.
Import Timing
Guild import typically takes 1–5 minutes depending on roster size. You can continue setting up while it runs.
Set Region & Realm
On the General tab, confirm your group's region and default realm. This ensures new characters are created with the correct realm by default.
Invite Your Team
Go to the Members tab and create an invite link. Choose an expiration (1 day to 1 year), click the copy button, and share it with your raid team on Discord.

Share the Joining a Group guide alongside the invite link so members know exactly what to do.
Manage Roster & Claims
Once members join, head to the Roster tab to manage your raid team. Members can claim their roster spot and import their characters automatically.

YouRoster Claim Modes
Your group supports three claim modes (configurable in Settings):
- Self-Claim — Members click "Claim" on their roster entry and it's assigned immediately. Fastest for most teams.
- Request Approval — Members submit a claim request that an admin approves. Useful for larger guilds with alts.
- Admin Only — Only admins can assign members to roster entries. Full control.
Character Setup
After a member claims their roster spot and has a guild linked, they can import characters from Battle.net. The setup dialog lets them mark each character as Main, Alt, or Off (inactive):
Character Setup Preview
- Main — The character used in planning tools by default
- Alt — Backup characters available for flexible compositions
- Off — Characters not actively played; hidden by default in the roster
Group Permissions
- Admins — Full control: manage Setups, Roster, group settings, and members
- Editors — Manage cooldowns and Assignments, but cannot edit Roster or Setups
- Viewers — Can view everything except Roster information
