How to let a friend help run your DDNet server

Invite your friend from Team & Roles and give them a role with the permissions for what they should do. Playing on the server needs only the address. Running it in the panel needs a role. Moderating in the game needs a staff password instead.

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 top of the server page.
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 DDNet task needs

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

If a button is missing for your friend, their role does not have the permission for it. Deleting files and restoring backups are risky: give those only to people you trust.

Make someone a moderator in the game

A panel role is not the same as staff in the game. To let a friend kick and ban players while they play, give them the Moderator RCON Password instead: How to add moderators and helpers to your DDNet server. Keep the admin RCON Password for yourself.

Good to know
