VIPs skip the join queue when your server is full. Add their SteamID64s on the VIPs tab of Who can play on the Active players card, then restart the server.
Add a VIP
- Open your server in the panel. On the Active players card on Overview, click Who can play.
- Open the VIPs tab.
- Type the player's SteamID64 in Add by SteamID64 (17 digits starting with
7656119) and a Name (optional), then click Add. - Restart the server. The game reads this list when it starts.
To remove a VIP, click Remove next to them and restart.
Good to know
- VIPs only matter when the server is full and the join queue is on. Join queue is on by default, on the Gameplay page under Players and chat. See How to change players and chat settings on your The Isle server.
- Being a VIP does not make someone an admin, and does not let them past the whitelist. Add them to those lists too if needed.
