ARK: Survival Ascended server guide

Make your ARK: Survival Ascended server private

Set a Server Password on the Passwords card so only friends with it can join, or add players under Exclusive Players on the Player Role Settings card and turn on exclusive mode, so only they get in.

A password

Set the Server Password on the Passwords card. The Admin Password on the same card is for admin commands; keep it different.

A whitelist

  1. Open the Player Role Settings card.
  2. Under Exclusive Players, choose Add to pick a player who has played on the server, or Add by ID to enter their ID.
  3. Turn on the switch below the heading, so it reads Exclusive mode enabled. Only listed players can join.

Questions

Can a whitelist cover all maps of a cluster?

Yes. Share the Player Role Settings card through Cloud Config, or a Player Roles profile on Linux, and every map uses one list.

Where do I find a player's ID for the whitelist?

HaruHost lists everyone who joined on the server's Players page, with their ID.
