How to Add Subusers to Your Server on XGamingServer
Invite other users to your game server panel with specific permissions — give staff, moderators, or friends controlled access.
Subusers let you give other people access to your server's panel with specific permissions — useful for server staff, moderators, builders, or friends.
Subusers Page
Click Users in the sidebar to manage subusers. Each subuser shows their name, email, 2FA status, and creation date.
Invite a Subuser
Click New User
Click the green New user button (top-right).
Enter their email and set permissions
Enter the email address of the person you want to invite (they must have an XGamingServer account). Then select which permissions to grant:
Click Invite User
The invited user will see your server in their panel after logging in.
Permission Categories
| Category | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Control | Console access, start, stop, restart the server |
| User | Manage other subusers (invite, edit, remove) |
| File | Browse, edit, upload, and delete files via the file manager and SFTP |
| Backup | Create, download, restore, and delete backups |
| Allocation | View and manage network port allocations |
| Startup | View and edit startup parameters |
| Database | Create, view, and delete databases |
| Schedule | Create and manage scheduled tasks |
| Activity | View the server activity log |
Each category has individual checkboxes — check the category header to select all, or pick specific permissions within it.
Common Permission Presets
| Role | Recommended permissions |
|---|---|
| Trusted admin | All permissions |
| Moderator | Control (console, restart) + File (read only) |
| Builder | File (full) + Control (start/restart) |
| Viewer | Control (console only — read, no commands) |
Warning: Be careful granting User permissions — a subuser with this can invite or remove other subusers and modify their permissions.
Edit Permissions
Click Modify permissions next to any subuser to change their access.
Remove a Subuser
Click the red delete button next to the subuser. They immediately lose access.
