User Management in the Pterodactyl Panel

User management is an important aspect of the Pterodactyl Panel, allowing you to add and manage users, assign permissions, and set resource limits for better control over server management. This documentation provides a comprehensive guide on how to effectively manage users in the Pterodactyl Panel.

Accessing User Management #

To access the user management functionality in the Pterodactyl Panel, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Pterodactyl Panel.
2. From the dashboard, navigate to the “Users” tab.

Adding a User #

Adding users allows you to grant access to the Pterodactyl Panel and assign them specific permissions. Here’s how you can add a user:

1. In the user management section, click on the “Create New” or “Add User” button.
2. Fill in the required information for the new user, including their email address, username, and password.
3. Select the desired user role or permission level for the user.
4. Optionally, you can set resource limits for the user to restrict the amount of CPU, RAM, and disk space they can allocate.
5. Save the changes to create the new user.

Managing Users #

Once users are added, you can manage them efficiently in the Pterodactyl Panel. Here are some common management tasks:

• Editing User Details: Click on the user’s name or Edit button to modify their details, such as email address, username, or password.
• Deleting a User: Locate the user in the user management section and click on the Delete button to remove their account from the panel.

2. Click on the user’s name or Edit button to access their details.
3. Look for the “Permissions” or “User Roles” section.
4. Assign the appropriate roles or individual permissions to the user.
   • Roles typically define a set of preconfigured permissions, while individual permissions provide granular control.
