How to Invite Friends to Manage Your Server Without Losing Control

As your server community grows, you'll often need help with day-to-day management — responding to members, monitoring the server, or even handling simple technical issues. The natural question is: how do you involve trusted friends in management without losing full control of your account and server? The solution is the tiered permission system available in the "Account Management" section of your dashboard. Instead of giving someone your account password (a real security risk), you can invite them by email only, and specify exactly which permissions they have. The first and simplest option is "Start and Stop," which gives someone the ability to only start or stop the server, with no access to its files or settings. This is ideal for a friend helping you monitor the server while you're away, with no real risk. The second option is "Console Access," which allows monitoring server commands and sending simple commands, useful for a friend keeping track of daily activity and responding to player questions directly in-game. More advanced options include "File Management," "Adding Mods," and "World Editing" — these grant deeper permissions and should only be given to people you fully trust, since they enable substantial changes to your server. Finally, the "Full Access" option gives someone all permissions combined at once — use this only with a management partner you fully trust, such as someone co-managing the server with you equally. The important point: you always retain full control — you can modify or revoke any permission at any time from the same page, without needing to change your account password or take any complex action.
