How to Add SubUsers to Your Game Server

Managing your game server is easier with a team. SubUsers allow you to give trusted friends, admins, or moderators access to your GameServersHub server panel without sharing your main account credentials.

What are SubUsers?

SubUsers are additional users who can access and manage your game server through the GameServersHub panel. You can grant them specific permissions to control various aspects of your server while maintaining security for your main account.

Benefits of Adding SubUsers

• Shared Management: Distribute server management tasks among team members
• Security: No need to share your main account password
• Custom Permissions: Control exactly what each SubUser can access
• Accountability: Track who made changes to your server
• Team Collaboration: Perfect for clans, communities, and server teams
