Sharing your Administrator password with a developer is risky. If you stop working together, you have to change it everywhere. Developer access gives each person their own login instead, with only the access they need.
Add a developer
- Open your server in the panel and click Developer access.
- Enter Their username: 3 to 20 lowercase letters, numbers,
-or_, for examplejamie-dev. - Choose What they can do:
- Game servers: can change files in
C:\HTN(all your game servers). Can't change Windows settings. - One folder: can only change files in the folder you choose. Can't change Windows settings.
- Full admin: the same control as you. Only for people you fully trust.
- Game servers: can change files in
- Click Create login.
The panel shows their login details: server address, username and a strong password. These are shown once, so copy them and send them to your developer. You can also download a Remote Desktop file made for them.
How your developer connects
They open Remote Desktop Connection on Windows, or the Windows App on Mac, enter the server address, and log in with their own username and password.
Change a password or remove a developer
- New password sets a fresh password for that login and shows it once.
- Remove deletes their login, signs them out if they're connected, and takes away their folder access. Files they saved in their own user folder are kept.
Good to know
- Windows allows 2 people connected at the same time. A third person signs one of them out.
- Last login shows when each developer last connected.
- You can add up to 10 developer logins.
- The panel only ever changes logins it created. Your Administrator account isn't touched.
