How to Whitelist via Steam Groups in Unturned

​

Community Gatekeeping

One of the most effective ways to build a dedicated community and prevent “random” griefers from joining is to link your server to a Steam Group. Once enabled, the server will check every connecting player’s group membership and automatically disconnect anyone who hasn’t joined your community.

​

1. Finding Your Group ID

1. Open your Steam Group page in a web browser.
2. In the URL, look for the numerical ID (or append /edit to the URL to view the direct ID in the metadata).
3. If your group has a custom URL, you may need to use a “Steam ID Finder” tool to retrieve the long-form Group ID64.

​

2. Enabling the Check (Config.json)

1. Navigate to: /Servers/Default/Config.json
2. Search for the Steam_Group_ID field.
3. Replace the 0 with your group’s ID:
   Copy

   "Identity": {
       "Steam_Group_ID": "103582791465220608"
   }
   
4. Save and Restart the server.
