Steam Account Linking

Steam linking allows you to verify that players are members of your Steam group before granting in-game rewards.

Configuration

Navigate to Panel > Your Project > Providers > Steam.

Steam Provider Settings

Settings

Setting Description
Steam Group ID The numeric ID of your Steam group (3-25 characters). Found in your group's URL or settings
Steam Group Link The full URL to your Steam group page
Check Group Membership When enabled, Servycore verifies the player is in your Steam group

Finding Your Steam Group ID

  1. Go to your Steam group page
  2. The group ID is the number in the URL (e.g., steamcommunity.com/groups/yourgroup)
  3. Alternatively, use a Steam group ID lookup tool with your group's vanity URL

How It Works

  1. A player clicks Link Steam on your project page
  2. They sign in with their Steam account
  3. Servycore checks if they're a member of your Steam group (if enabled)
  4. Auth commands are executed on your game servers
  5. The player's Steam profile info is stored for display

Notes

  • Steam group membership checks depend on the group's privacy settings
  • Public groups work best for automated verification
  • Private groups may require manual membership verification
