**Note**: This playbook now supports running [Dimension](https://dimension.t2bot.io) in both a federated and [unfederated](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-dimension/blob/master/docs/unfederated.md) environments. This is handled automatically based on the value of `matrix_homeserver_federation_enabled`. Enabling Dimension, means that the `openid` API endpoints will be exposed on the Matrix Federation port (usually `8448`), even if [federation](configuring-playbook-federation.md) is disabled. It's something to be aware of, especially in terms of firewall whitelisting (make sure port `8448` is accessible).
## Decide on a domain and path
By default, Dimension is configured to use its own dedicated domain (`dimension.example.com`) and requires you to [adjust your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records).
You can override the domain and path like this:
```yaml
# Switch to another hostname compared to the default (`dimension.{{ matrix_domain }}`)
matrix_dimension_hostname: "integrations.{{ matrix_domain }}"
```
While there is a `matrix_dimension_path_prefix` variable for changing the path where Dimension is served, overriding it is not possible right now due to [this Dimension issue](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-dimension/issues/510). You must serve Dimension at a dedicated subdomain until this issue is solved.
## Adjusting DNS records
Once you've decided on the domain and path, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Dimension domain to the Matrix server.

The admin interface is accessible within Element by accessing it in any room and clicking the cog wheel/settings icon in the top right. Currently, Dimension can be opened in Element by the "Add widgets, bridges, & bots" link in the room information.
## Access token
### Access token
We recommend that you create a dedicated Matrix user for Dimension (`dimension` is a good username).
Follow our [Registering users](registering-users.md) guide to learn how to register **a regular (non-admin) user**.

### Adjusting the Dimension URL
By default, this playbook installs Dimension on the `dimension.` subdomain (`dimension.example.com`) and requires you to [adjust your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records).
By tweaking the `matrix_dimension_hostname` and `matrix_dimension_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
Example additional configuration for your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
# Switch to the domain used for Matrix services (`matrix.example.com`),
# so we won't need to add additional DNS records for Dimension.
matrix_dimension_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
# Expose under the /dimension subpath
# matrix_dimension_path_prefix: /dimension
```
**Note**: While there is a `matrix_dimension_path_prefix` variable for changing the path where Dimension is served, overriding it is not possible due to [this Dimension issue](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-dimension/issues/510). You must serve Dimension at a dedicated subdomain.
## Adjusting DNS records
Once you've decided on the domain and path, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Dimension domain to the Matrix server.
By default, you will need to create a CNAME record for `dimension`. See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md) for details about DNS changes.
