Sub-users let other people help manage your server with their own login. You choose exactly what each person can do, you can make the access expire, and you can remove it at any time. Never share your own Game Panel or billing password instead.
Invite a sub-user
Open your server at panel.endercloud.in, go to the Users tab (under CONFIGURATION) and click New user.
User Email: the email address of the person you want to add.
Expiration Date (Optional): pick a date if the access should end by itself, for example for a builder helping for one week. On that date the sub-user is removed automatically. Leave it empty for no end date.
Tick the permissions they need (see below). Use the search box to find one quickly, or Select all permissions only for someone you trust completely.
Click Invite User.
The Users page then lists them with Name, Email, Creation date, Expiration date and 2FA Enabled (whether they protect their login with two-factor authentication).
The permission groups in plain words
Group | What it lets them do |
|---|---|
CONTROL | Use the console, and start, stop and restart the server. |
PLAYERMANAGER / PLAYERS | Use the Players tab: list, op, deop, kick, ban and whitelist players. |
PROPERTIES | Change settings in the Properties tab. |
FILE | See, create, edit, delete and zip files, and |
BACKUP | Create, see and delete backups, plus download and restore. |
DATABASE | Create and manage databases. |
SCHEDULE | Create and change schedules. |
ALLOCATION | See and change ports in the Network tab. |
STARTUP | See and change startup variables and the Docker image (Java version). |
SETTINGS |
|
USER | Add, change and remove other sub-users. |
ACTIVITY | Read the activity log. |
Be careful with BACKUP download and restore. Download gives a full copy of your server (world, configs, plugin data and any passwords in config files). Restore can roll the server back and wipe recent progress. Only give these to people you trust as much as yourself. The same goes for USER, SETTINGS and view_password.
Give the smallest set that does the job. A moderator usually needs only CONTROL (console) and PLAYERS. A developer may need FILE and STARTUP.
Save time with Presets
On the Users tab, click Presets.
Click Create preset, give it a name such as
Moderator, tick the permissions and save.Next time you add a moderator, use that preset instead of ticking every box again.
How the sub-user logs in
New to Endercloud: a Game Panel account is created for them with that email, and they get an email to set their password. If it doesn't arrive, they can use Forgot password? on panel.endercloud.in with the same email.
Already has a panel account: your server simply appears in their server list.
Email not arriving? See Not receiving password reset or setup emails.
Sub-users only get Game Panel access. They can't see your invoices, pay for or cancel your service in billing.
Change or remove access
Go to Users.
Click the edit option next to the person to change their permissions or expiry, then save.
To remove someone, click the red delete button next to their name and confirm. They lose access to this server straight away.
You can check what sub-users have done in the Activity tab.
Frequently asked questions
Why not just share my password?
Your password opens every server you own and lets someone lock you out. Sub-users have limited access, their actions show in the activity log, and you can remove them in one click.
Can a sub-user use SFTP?
Yes, if you tick sftp under FILE. They use their own SFTP username and their own panel password. See How to connect with SFTP.
Can I make someone the owner of my server?
Not with sub-users. Ownership belongs to the billing account that pays for the server. Open a ticket and our team will tell you what is possible.
