How to Whitelist Players on Your The Isle Evrima Server
Restrict your The Isle Evrima server to approved Steam IDs only with the whitelist system.
The whitelist restricts your server to specific players. When enabled, only Steam IDs on the list can join — everyone else is blocked, even if they have the password.
Enable the Whitelist
Stop the server
In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and stop the server.
Enable whitelist mode
bServerWhitelist goes under [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]:
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
bServerWhitelist=trueThe WhitelistIDs entries go under a different section ([/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]) — see the next step.
Add Steam IDs
Under [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase], add each player's SteamID64 on its own line:
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000001
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000002
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000003Save and start
Click Save Content and start the server from Console.
Find a Player's SteamID64
Players can find their own ID at steamid.io — enter the Steam profile URL and copy the steamID64 value (a 17-digit number starting with 7656).
