Whitelisting Players on The Isle Evrima
Restrict your The Isle Evrima server to approved players only using the whitelist system.
The whitelist lets you restrict your server to approved players only. When enabled, only Steam IDs on your whitelist can join — everyone else is blocked.
Enabling the Whitelist
Stop Your Server
Access the XGamingServer Panel and stop your server.
Open Game.ini
Go to Files → /TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
Enable Whitelist and Add Players
Under [/script/theisle.tigamesession], enable the whitelist:
[/script/theisle.tigamesession]
bServerWhitelist=trueThen under [/script/theisle.tigamestatebase], add each whitelisted player's Steam64 ID on its own line:
[/script/theisle.tigamestatebase]
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000001
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000002
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000003Finding a Steam64 ID
You need the Steam64 ID (a 17-digit number) for each player you want to whitelist.
Players can find their own Steam64 ID at steamid.io — just enter their Steam profile URL and copy the steamID64 value.
Managing the Whitelist via RCON
You can add and remove whitelist entries in real time without restarting the server using RCON commands:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
addwhitelist 76561198000000001 | Add a player to the whitelist |
removewhitelist 76561198000000001 | Remove a player from the whitelist |
togglewhitelist | Toggle whitelist on/off without restarting |
See the RCON guide for how to use RCON commands.
Disabling the Whitelist
To open your server to all players again, either:
- Set
bServerWhitelist=falseinGame.iniand restart, or - Use
togglewhitelistin the RCON console to disable it immediately without a restart
