How To Make Your Enshrouded Server Private

You can make your Enshrouded server private by setting a password on every Permission Group. Enshrouded doesn't have a single server password. Instead, each group has its own password, and the password a player enters when joining decides which group they belong to.

If any group has an empty password, anyone can join your server and receive that group's permissions. Once every group has a password, only players you've shared a password with can get in.

#Making Your Server Private

  1. Navigate to the Shockbyte Control Panel and open your Enshrouded server.

  2. Click Stop to shut down your server and open the Settings tab.

  3. Under Server, select Enshrouded Server Settings.

  4. Make sure Simple view is selected in the top right.

  5. Scroll down and click Permission Group to expand the section.

  6. Check the Password field of every Permission Group. For each group with an empty password, click Generate to create a secure password, or enter your own.

  7. Save your changes.

  8. Click Start Server to start your server with the new settings.

Important

Give every group a different password. If two groups share the same password, players can land in the wrong group and get the wrong permissions.

#Sharing Access With Your Players

Your server still appears in the Enshrouded server browser, but players need a password to join. Send each player the password for the group you want them in. For example, give your friends the password for a group that can build, and keep the Admin password for yourself and people you trust.

Players join your server like this:

  1. Launch Enshrouded and click Play, then select Join from the main menu.

  2. Select the Dedicated Servers tab, then search for your server's name.

  3. Select your server and enter their group password when the game asks for it.

#Making Your Server Public Again

To let anyone join, clear the password on one Permission Group, save your changes, and restart your server. Players who join without a password receive that group's permissions, so turn off any permissions you don't want strangers to have, such as Can Kick / Ban and Can Access Inventories.

Note

If someone you no longer want on your server knows a password, change that group's password, restart your server, and send the new password to the players you want to keep.
