At Lazer Hosting, we know how vital it is for our clients to ensure smooth management of their servers. And for those who are using Pterodactyl, we've put together a beginner-friendly guide on creating sub-users. Not only will this tutorial walk you through the process, but it will also shed light on the advantages of using this feature. Let's dive right in. Why Use Sub-users in Pterodactyl? The primary purpose of adding sub-users in Pterodactyl is to delegate responsibilities. Whether you're running a gaming server, a business website, or any other online project, there's a good chance you'll need a team. By creating sub-users, you can give specific permissions to team members, allowing them to manage certain aspects of the server while retaining control. Pros of Using Sub-users: Delegated Access: Ensure team members only have access to the areas they need. Enhanced Security: By providing limited access, you reduce the risk of inadvertent changes or mishaps. Efficient Workflow: With team members taking care of assigned responsibilities, management becomes a breeze. Creating Sub-users and Understanding the Options Navigating to our Pterodactyl panel at https://panel.lazerhosting.com, here's a step-by-step guide: Login to your account. On the left sidebar, click on the desired server. Navigate to the “Subusers” tab. Click on “Create New” and input the email address of the person you want to add. Now, you'll be presented with various permissions options. Here's a breakdown: Console Access: Allow the sub-user to view and interact with the live server console. Start/Stop/Restart Rights: Decide what control the sub-user has over server operations. File Management: Allow access to upload, delete, or modify server files. Database Management: Permit the sub-user to manage server databases. Scheduling Tasks: Let the sub-user schedule tasks like backups or updates. Managing Plugins/Mods: Decide if the sub-user can add or modify plugins or mods. After selecting the desired permissions, click “Submit” to finalize the process. For new users, it might seem overwhelming, but remember, the idea is to customize access according to the role of each team member. If you ever need to modify permissions, simply return to the “Subusers” tab and make necessary adjustments. In Conclusion Creating sub-users in Pterodactyl is an efficient way to delegate server responsibilities while ensuring security and streamlined operations. By understanding each permission option, you can craft a robust and productive server management team. Need more guidance or facing an issue?
