How to Add Game Panel Users and Set Permissions

Give a helper access to your game server with their own account. Choose permissions for files, console commands, backups, and power controls.

Invite a helper through Users on your game server. They use their own panel account, so you do not need to share your password or give them billing access.

Invite a helper

  1. Open your server’s Users page and select the option to invite a user.
  2. Enter their email and select the permissions they need. You can only grant permissions available to you.
  3. Send the invitation. A new user should follow the panel’s account setup instructions.
  4. Have them sign in and test their task.

Choose permissions

Reading Console output, sending commands, and using Start, Stop, or Restart are separate permissions. For a helper who only checks logs, allow console output without command or power controls.

File permissions separately control listing, reading, creating, editing, and deleting files. SFTP access also needs the appropriate file permissions for the task.

Backup download can reveal the server’s saved files even when normal file access is limited. Restore, Reinstall, file deletion, commands, and user management can make major changes. Grant them only when needed.

Change or remove access

Return to Users to change permissions or remove the server assignment. Have the helper sign in again to check an updated permission. If one task is unavailable, enable the specific permission it needs rather than every permission.

See the panel introduction, SFTP access, and backup and restore instructions.
