How to let a friend help run your BeamMP server

BeamMPUpdated Oct 22, 20264 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 address. Kicking players, adding mods or restarting needs a role in the panel.

Invite someone

  1. Open your server in the panel and click Team & Roles in the left menu. On a desktop you can also use Invite people at the end of the tab row.
  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 BeamMP task needs

On the Roles tab you tick permissions in areas such as Control, Files, Backups, Settings and Schedules. For your BeamMP server:

TaskPermissions it needs
Use the ConsoleControl, Use the console
Open the Players page and read the list, chat and rulesUse the console, plus Files: Read contents
Kick…, Message…, Remove vehicles…, Say something as the serverControl, Use the console
Ban…, Unban, the whitelist, guests, vehicle rules, refusal messagesUse the console, plus Files: Read contents and Create and upload
Open the Mods & maps tabFiles: Browse files
Add a mod, Upload plugin, Install NickelFiles: Create and upload
Remove a mod or pluginFiles: Delete
Switch off or Switch on a mod or pluginFiles: Edit and rename
Protect (do not send)Use the console, plus Files: Edit and rename
Apply now, no restartControl, Use the console
See the Server map cardSettings: View startup
Use this map, change Game Settings, the key, the Go live cardSettings: Change startup
Start or restart the server (also from Go live)Control: Start, Restart
Edit slotsSettings: Rename server
Schedules on Quick TasksSchedules
Start backup, restoreBackups

If a button is missing for your friend, the role does not have the permission for it. Without the files permissions, the Players page says Your role can read these rules but not change them.

In-game admin

BeamMP has no admin list of its own. Moderation from the panel is the Players page. For moderator roles inside the game, add a plugin such as Nickel: How to install Nickel moderation on your BeamMP server.
