Introduction

A whitelist is an access list that restricts who can connect to your server. In ECO, the whitelist is stored in the Users.eco configuration and becomes active automatically as soon as at least one SteamID64 is added.

Activating the Whitelist

Connect to your server via FTP and locate the Users.eco file. Open it and find the WhiteList section. Add the SteamID64 values inside the $values array.

json

"WhiteList": {
  "System.String": {
"$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, System.Private.CoreLib]], System.Private.CoreLib",
"$values": [
  "76561198000000000"
]
  }
}

Save the file and restart the server so the new access list takes effect.

Managing Whitelist Players

You can also add players via the live console in the ZAP-Hosting game server management if you have the necessary in-game rights. Use the whitelist command with the player’s name.

/whitelist PlayerName

Removing players can only be done by editing the Users.eco file. Delete the SteamID64 from $values, save, and restart the server since there is no server command to remove entries.

Verifying the Whitelist Function

After restarting, try connecting with an account not listed in $values. Access should be blocked. Then connect with a whitelisted account.

If access is still open, check that at least one SteamID64 is entered and that the edited Users.eco file belongs to the active server instance.

Conclusion

If you have followed all steps correctly, your whitelist is now active and you can precisely control who can access the server. If access still does not work as expected, restart the server again and check the file or console output to ensure the change was applied.
