How to Add Subusers to Your Game Server

Learn how to add subusers and manage their permissions on your GhostCap game server

With GhostCap, you can add different subusers to help manage your server. Each user you add can have their own permissions, from basic actions like restarting the server to full admin access.

How to Add Subusers to Your Server

  1. Load the GhostCap Game Panel and select your server.
  2. In the left-hand menu, click Management > Subusers.
  3. Click the button labeled Create.
  4. Input the user's email address and assign the permissions you want to give them.
  5. Click Add New Subuser to save.

After a subuser is added, they will receive an email with instructions on setting up their account.

Subuser Permissions

Here's a list of the different permissions you can grant to subusers:
