- Connect to your server and assign yourself as an admin.
- Within Server Settings, access the General tab.
- Scroll down and enable Only Allow Whitelisted Players To Join.
Adding Players to the Whitelist

- Here, you will find a list of the current players online. Click Whitelist next to each player you wish to add to the whitelist.
Whilst players are not connected to your server
- Access your control panel.
- Navigate to Files > FTP File Access.

/ConanSandbox/Saved/and edit whitelist.txt.- If there is no whitelist.txt, you can create one in this file location.
