Enshrouded introduced a flexible administration system built around user roles. Instead of a single server password, players now log in using role-specific passwords, which determine their level of access—such as Admin, Friend, or Helper. This system empowers server hosts to customize roles and permissions, tailoring gameplay experiences for different players. Want to create a casual exploration role with limited building rights? Or a full-access admin role with moderation powers? It’s all possible. Even better, if a role is left without a password, anyone can join the server under that role and play with its predefined restrictions—perfect for open communities or sandbox-style servers.
Adding Custom Roles on your Enshrouded Server
1. Log in to your Game Panel to start your server.
2. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.

6. After editing, click Save to apply the changes.
