Whitlisting your Rust Server

Summary

Rust servers feature vast, open maps where players can explore, establish settlements, and construct complex bases, marketplaces, or communities. Implementing a whitelist helps shape a curated player group, encouraging creativity, roleplay, or content-focused servers. Players can be added to the whitelist through commands issued in the ChipHead Panel or directly through the in-game console.
