Since we’re using [Discord](https://discord.gg/tsBTgc9) as our main chat, do we want to allow Discord users to login to SourceCred with their Discord profiles? This could improve the onboarding flow from people just chatting about the project to people contributing to [Initiatives](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/about-the-initiatives-category/242) and stuff.

I think this is a good idea. Do you need any permissions help to set this up?

Nope! Just saw it in the settings and thought I’d ask before turning it on 🙂

  

EDIT: @decentralion might actually need help setting this up.

We might need a Discord Client ID or secret key?

Also turned on the “Enable the Discord chat-integration provider” button just to see what it does lol

Note: someone with admin access now needs to remove this option from the login page as it’s not a viable option.

Confirmed that the Discord login just hits an API error. Removed.
