Access control

Use Administrators, Bans, Whitelist, and Command permissions for distinct game-native controls.

Choose the right control

Goal	Page
Grant or change an in-game administrator entry	Administrators
Prevent a player from joining	Bans
Limit admission to listed players	Whitelist
Change an in-game console command's permission level	Command permissions

Review the player's identifier before adding, editing, or removing an entry. These controls are independent: an administrator entry does not automatically remove a ban, and a whitelist change does not immediately kick connected players. Adding the first whitelist entry can enable whitelist-only mode; verify the displayed status after changes.

Command permissions use the game's native permission table and affect in-game command authorization. They do not automatically constrain the authenticated Server console page. Keep panel credentials restricted to trusted operators; see First sign-in.

Online player row menus also provide shortcuts for administrator changes and bans; see Player quick actions. An individual effective permission level of 0 may grant Steam panel login once that player has joined the current save. Steam group permissions alone do not qualify. Revocation is checked at Steam sign-in and session refresh; already issued access tokens remain valid until expiry.
