Adding Sub-users

3 min read

If you run a community or play with trusted friends, you might want to give them access to the server console or file manager without sharing your personal account password. You can do this by adding them as a sub-user.

Step 1: Invite a User

  1. Go to your server on the panel.
  2. Click on the Users tab in the sidebar.
  3. Click the blue New User button.
  4. Enter their Email Address. (They must have a valid email to receive the invitation).

Step 2: Assign Permissions

You can grant granular control over what they can do. It's best practice to give only the permissions they need.

  • Control: Allows starting/stopping the server and viewing the console.
  • File: Allows creating, reading, updating, or deleting files via the web manager or SFTP.
  • Backup: Allows creating and restoring backups.
  • User: Allows them to manage other sub-users (use with caution!).

Step 3: Accessing the Server

Once you save the new user:

  • The system will send them an email.
  • If they already have a BaoHost account, the server will immediately appear on their dashboard.
  • If they don't have an account, they will receive instructions to set one up.
