# Setting up Dimension (optional)
|
|
|
|
**[Dimension](https://dimension.t2bot.io) can only be installed after Matrix services are installed and running.**
|
|
If you're just installing Matrix services for the first time, please continue with the [Configuration](configuring-playbook.md) / [Installation](installing.md) flow and come back here later.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
For an Integration Manager like [Dimension](https://dimension.t2bot.io) to work, your server needs to have federation enabled (`matrix_synapse_federation_enabled: true`). This is the default for this playbook, so unless you've explicitly disabled federation, you're okay.
|
|
|
|
Other important prerequisite is the `dimension.<your-domain>` DNS record being set up correctly. See [Configuring your DNS server](configuring-dns.md) on how to set up DNS record correctly.
|
|
|
|
## Enable
|
|
[Dimension integrations manager](https://dimension.t2bot.io) installation is disabled by default. You can enable it in your configuration file (`inventory/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_dimension_enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Define admin users
|
|
These users can modify the integrations this Dimension supports. Admin interface is accessible by opening Dimension in Riot and clicking the settings icon.
|
|
Add this to your configuration file (`inventory/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_dimension_admins: ['@user1:domain.com', '@user2:domain.com']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Access token
|
|
You are required to specify an access token for Dimension to work.
|
|
To get an access token, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. In a private browsing session (incognito window), open Riot.
|
|
2. It's better to you use dedicated user for getting access token, so log in with this user's username and password.
|
|
3. Set the display name and avatar, if required.
|
|
4. In the settings page choose "Help & About", scroll down to the bottom and click `Access Token: <click to reveal>`.
|
|
5. Copy the highlighted text to your configuration.
|
|
6. Close the private browsing session. **Do not log out**. Logging out will invalidate the token, making it not work.
|
|
|
|
**Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.**
|
|
|
|
Add access token to your configuration file (`inventory/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_dimension_access_token: "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN HERE"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information on how to acquire an access token, visit [https://t2bot.io/docs/access_tokens](https://t2bot.io/docs/access_tokens).
|
|
|
|
## Additional features
|
|
|
|
To use a more custom configuration, you can define a `matrix_dimension_configuration_extension_yaml` string variable and put your configuration in it.
|
|
To learn more about how to do this, refer to the information about `matrix_dimension_configuration_extension_yaml` in the [default variables file](../roles/matrix-dimension/defaults/main.yml) of the Dimension component.
|
|
|
|
You can find all configuration options on [GitHub page of Dimension project](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-dimension/blob/master/config/default.yaml).
