Giving friends access with subusers

Giving friends access with subusers

Subusers let staff and friends help run your server without sharing your account.

Before you invite

The person must already have a RepublicNodes account with the email you invite. We never create accounts for people. Send them the registration link first if needed.

Invite

  1. Open Users on your server.
  2. Press + New User, enter their email.
  3. Tick the permissions to grant โ€” or press Grant All Access to tick everything, then untick what you don't want.
  4. Press Invite User.

The server then appears on their My Servers page with a Shared with you badge and only the tabs you allowed.

Permission groups

Control, User, File, Backup, Allocation, Startup, Database, Schedule, Settings and Activity mirror the usual panel permissions. A separate RepublicNodes Extras group covers our own tools:

Permission Allows
subdomain.manage Create and remove the server's subdomain
plugin.manage / mod.manage Install and remove plugins or mods
versions.manage Pull server software builds
game-changer.manage Switch the game โ€” destructive, grant carefully

Editing or removing access

Press Edit beside a user to change permissions, or Remove to end their access immediately.

Good to know

  • A subuser can never grant permissions they don't have themselves.
  • Everything they do through the website is recorded in the Activity tab with their name.
  • Only the owner can see billing for the service.
