How to Give Friends or Staff Access to Your Game Server
Invite people to help run your FREAKHOSTING game server, choose a role such as Moderator or Developer, and control exactly what they can do.
You can invite other people to help run your server, without sharing your password. Each person gets their own sign-in and only the permissions you choose.
Use the console and run commands, start, stop and restart, see backups and the activity log
Edit files, change who has access, delete files or backups
Developer
Someone who builds and configures the server
Everything a Moderator can, plus read and edit files, connect with SFTP, make backups, see databases, change startup settings
Change who has access, delete files or backups, reinstall
Manager
Someone who runs the server for you
Almost everything, including deleting files, restoring and downloading backups and managing databases
Change who has access, reinstall the server
Custom
Full control
Whatever you tick
Whatever you leave unticked
If you don’t pick a role, the person can only watch the console.
The Manager role is dangerous access. It lets the person delete and restore backups, see and change database passwords, delete databases and change ports. Only give it to someone you trust completely.
Click Customize permissions to see every permission and tick or untick them one by one. They are grouped by area, for example:
control: console, start, stop, restart
user: manage other sub-users
file: create, read, edit, delete, archive files and connect with SFTP
backup: create, delete, download and restore backups
allocation, startup, database, schedule, settings and activity
There are also permissions for extra panel features, such as Automatic backups, Server alerts, Subdomain and game tools like Plugins, Mods or Worlds on games that have them.
A sub-user can never give someone else permissions they don’t have themselves.
