Grant a badge to individual users manually

[Discourse]

This is a guide for manually granting a custom badge to individual users on Discourse.

Required user level: Administrator

In this guide, you’ll learn how to create and manually grant a custom badge to individual users. A new “Scholar” badge will be created as an example.

This guide is only applicable for custom badges. To manually grant one of Discourse’s built in badges, you will need to follow: Bulk Award a badge to a set of users

Create a new custom badge

Create a new custom badge from the Admin > Community > Badges page by clicking on the “New” button.

1. Name the badge (e.g., “Scholar”).
2. Set the badge type (e.g., “Gold”).
3. Select a badge image, either a Font Awesome icon (e.g., Font Awesome icon graduation-cap) or an uploaded image.

Extra details about image size if using an uploaded image:

@Johani

The largest badge image we display is 64x64, so double that for retina displays.

To avoid blurry images, I would recommend 128x128 as a minimum.

This should give you ideal results on all devices.

Grant the badge

When it’s time to grant a user the badge, navigate to their user admin page and click on “Edit Badges” button.

Select the badge you want to grant to the user. In our case the badge is “Scholar”. Now click on “Grant”.

If you visit the user’s profile page and select the “Badges” tab you will see the newly granted “Scholar” badge!
