Client Access in the Pterodactyl Panel

Client access refers to the process of granting users access to the Pterodactyl Panel and their respective servers. The Pterodactyl Panel provides a comprehensive user management system that allows server owners to control who can access the panel and manage servers. This documentation provides a detailed guide on granting client access in the Pterodactyl Panel.

User Roles and Permissions #

Before granting client access, it’s essential to understand user roles and permissions in the Pterodactyl Panel. User roles define the level of access and functionality a user has within the panel. Each role is associated with specific permissions that determine what actions the user can perform. By assigning roles and permissions, you can customize the level of control granted to each user.

Granting Panel Access to Users #

To grant users access to the Pterodactyl Panel, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Pterodactyl Panel as an administrator.
2. Navigate to the user management section.
3. Create a new user account or locate the user to whom you want to grant access.
4. Assign the appropriate role to the user based on their access requirements.
5. Save the changes to apply the role and grant access to the panel.

Granting Server Access to Users #

Granting server access to users allows them to manage specific servers within the Pterodactyl Panel. Here’s how you can grant server access:

1. Log in to the Pterodactyl Panel as an administrator.
2. Navigate to the server management section.
3. Locate the server to which you want to grant access.
4. Edit the server’s settings or permissions.
5. Assign the user or user group to the server by selecting their username or role.
6. Save the changes to apply the server access permissions.

Managing Client Access #

Once client access is granted, you can manage it effectively in the Pterodactyl Panel. Here are some common management tasks:

• Modifying User Roles: If the access requirements for a user change, you can modify their assigned role to grant or restrict their access accordingly.
• Disabling/Enabling User Access: If a user no longer requires access to the panel or a specific server, you can disable their access by modifying their permissions or role.
• Removing User Access: If a user should no longer have access to the panel or a specific server, you can remove their permissions or role altogether.
• Auditing Access: Regularly review and audit the access granted to users to ensure compliance and security.
