Questions
Can a whitelist cover all maps of a cluster?
Yes. Add the other maps on the Player Role Settings card's Sharing tab, and every map uses one list.
Which ID goes in the whitelist?
The player's Steam ID, the long number ARK uses for players on PC. ListPlayers in the RCON console shows the IDs of everyone online, and Add picks players who have joined without one.
