# Setting Up a Whitelist for Your FiveM Server

Learn how to enable and configure a whitelist so only approved players can join your FiveM server.

**Control who can join your FiveM server by setting up a whitelist for trusted players only**

If you want to restrict access to your **FiveM** server, enabling a **whitelist** gives you complete control over who can join. This feature is perfect for private servers, roleplay communities, or managed groups where you want to ensure only approved players can connect.

The steps below show how to enable and manage your whitelist through your **ChipHead Panel** using **txAdmin**.

### Enabling the Whitelist

1.  Log in to your **ChipHead Panel**.
    
2.  Launch **txAdmin**.
    
3.  Navigate to **Settings** and open the **Whitelist** tab.
