  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Your Server">
    From the dropdown menu, choose the server you want to add Flare to. You must have the `Manage Server` permission in that server.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Permissions">

## After Inviting

Once Flare joins your server, you should immediately:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Move Flare's Role to the Top" icon="arrow-up" href="/getting-started/required-permissions">
    Drag Flare's role to the highest position in Server Settings > Roles. This is critical for AntiNuke.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Configure Your First Module" icon="bolt" href="/getting-started/configure-first-module">
    Follow our 2-minute guide to enable your first module and start protecting your server.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I can't see my server in the dropdown">
    You must have the `Manage Server` permission in the target server. Ask the server owner to grant you this permission, or have them invite Flare themselves.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Flare joined but I can't see it in the member list">
    Flare might not have the `View Channel` permission in the channel you're looking at. Check Server Settings > Roles and ensure Flare's role isn't restricted.
