How to let a friend help run your 7 Days to Die server

7 Days to DieUpdated Oct 24, 20263 min read

Invite your friend from Team & Roles in the left menu and give them a role with the permissions for what they should do. Playing on the server needs only the IP and port. Running it in the panel needs a role.

Invite someone

  1. Open your server in the panel and click Team & Roles in the left menu.
  2. Click Invite someone, enter their email address, choose a role and send the invitation.

The steps and the built-in roles are in How to invite friends and give them access.

Which permission a 7 Days to Die task needs

TaskPermission
Use the Console: admin, kick, ban, whitelist, say, saveworldUse the console
Start, stop or restart the serverStart, Stop, Restart
Change Game Settings, or switch Oxide (uMod) on the Modding tabChange startup
Change SlotsRename server
Upload mods, worlds or pluginsBrowse files and Create and upload
Edit serverconfig.xmlRead contents and Edit and rename
Unzip an uploadCompress and extract
Delete a mod or an old worldDelete under files
Take a backupCreate under backups
Restore a backupRestore under backups
Add, switch on or run schedules, and World Resetthe schedule permissions

If a button is missing for your friend, the role lacks the permission for it. Restoring backups and wiping are risky: give those only to people you trust.

Admin in the game is separate

A panel role does not make someone admin in the game, and an admin in the game cannot use the panel. To make a friend an admin in the game, see How to become admin on your 7 Days to Die server.
