How do I whitelist a user on my SCUM server?

SCUM has two types of whitelists. An “Exclusive Users” list, and a “Whitelisted Users” list.

“Exclusive Users” will be the only ones allowed to connect to your server. This is the list you want to add to if you want your server to operate with a traditional whitelist. Once one player is added to the list, only players in the “Exclusive Users” list will be able to join.

“Whitelisted Users” are given a priority connection to your server. This means that when your server is full and a whitelisted user tries to connect, they will kick out a non-whitelisted user to make space for them to join.

Now that we know the difference between the two types of whitelists, we can walk you through how to add users to them

You’ll need the Steam64ID of the user you are wanting to ban. You can find out how to do that with [this guide.](https://help.aleforge.net/article/200-how- to-find-my-steam-id)
