Running a server is rarely a one-person job. Sub-users let you give co-owners, moderators, or developers their own login to your server’s panel — with exactly the permissions they need and nothing more.
Never share your own panel or billing password. Sub-users exist precisely so you don’t have to.

Adding a Sub-User

1

Open the Users tab

Log in to the Game Panel, select your server, and open the Users section.
2

Invite by email

Click New User and enter the person’s email address. If they don’t have a panel account yet, they’ll receive an invitation to create one.
3

Select permissions

Tick only the permissions the person actually needs (see recommendations below), then save.
4

They accept and log in

The sub-user logs in with their own credentials and sees only your server, with only the abilities you granted.
RoleSuggested permissions
ModeratorConsole access, send commands, start/stop/restart
Co-ownerEverything except user management and deletion
Developer / plugin devFile read & write, SFTP, console, restart
Backup managerCreate, restore, and download backups
Follow the principle of least privilege: it’s easy to grant more later, but you can’t undo what an over-privileged user already did.

Managing Existing Sub-Users

  • Edit permissions at any time from the Users tab — changes apply immediately.
  • Remove a user to instantly revoke their panel and SFTP access.
  • Sub-users with file permissions get their own SFTP credentials, so you never need to share yours.

Sub-Users vs. In-Game Admins

Panel sub-users and in-game administrators are two different things:
  • Sub-users manage the server process — files, console, restarts, backups.
  • In-game admins use game commands — kick, ban, teleport, spawn items.
Most games configure in-game admins through their own files or commands. Check the admin guide for your game in the Game Guides section (for example Minecraft, Rust, or Squad).
