# Application Role Connection Metadata

> Complete reference for application role connection metadata objects.

export const Route = ({method, children}) => {
  return <div className="MDXRoute">
      <span className={"verb" + " " + method.toLowerCase()}>{method}</span>

};

A representation of role connection metadata for an [application](/developers/resources/application).

When a guild has added a bot and that bot has configured its [`role_connections_verification_url`](/developers/resources/application#application-object) (in the developer portal), the application will render as a potential verification method in the guild's role verification configuration.

If an application has configured role connection metadata, its metadata will appear in the role verification configuration when the application has been added as a verification method to the role.

When a user connects their account using the bot's [`role_connections_verification_url`](/developers/resources/application#application-object), the bot will [update a user's role connection with metadata](/developers/resources/user#update-current-user-application-role-connection) using the OAuth2 `role_connections.write` scope.

<Info>
  Each metadata type offers a comparison operation that allows guilds to configure role requirements based on metadata values stored by the bot. Bots specify a `metadata value` for each user and guilds specify the required `guild's configured value` within the guild role settings.
