User Groups

AssettoServer handles user permissions via user groups. A user group is usually a text file containing a list of SteamIDs, for example admins.txt.
By default, three user groups (default_admins, default_blacklist, default_whitelist) are defined and point to admins.txt, blacklist.txt, whitelist.txt respectively. Some plugins such as ReservedSlotsPlugin use their own user groups to manage permissions.

Adding local User Groups

To create a new file-based user group, just add it to extra_cfg.yml:

extra_cfg.yml (AssettoServer)

UserGroups:
  default_admins: admins.txt
  default_blacklist: blacklist.txt
  default_whitelist: whitelist.txt
  my_group: my_group.txt

The group my_group can now be used in the configuration of plugins.

Synchronizing User Groups via AssettoServer Hub

User groups can be synchronized to multiple game servers via AssettoServer Hub.

Hub Setup

In configuration.yml of your Hub, add a new file-based user group:

configuration.yml (AssettoServer Hub)

FileBasedUserGroups:
  - Name: my_group
    Path: my_group.txt

Game Server Setup

When specifying a user group, prefix the user group name in extra_cfg.yml with a +, for example +my_group. This will cause the PatreonHubPlugin to load this user group from AssettoServer Hub.

Examples

Synchronizing Blacklist

configuration.yml (AssettoServer Hub)

FileBasedUserGroups:
  - Name: blacklist
    Path: blacklist.txt

extra_cfg.yml (AssettoServer)

BlacklistUserGroup: +blacklist

Synchronizing Whitelist

configuration.yml (AssettoServer Hub)

FileBasedUserGroups:
  - Name: whitelist
    Path: whitelist.txt

extra_cfg.yml (AssettoServer)

WhitelistUserGroup: +whitelist

Synchronizing Reserved Slots

configuration.yml (AssettoServer Hub)

FileBasedUserGroups:
  - Name: reserved
    Path: reserved.txt

extra_cfg.yml (AssettoServer, under !PatreonReservedSlotsConfiguration)

ReservedEntryListSlotsUserGroup: +reserved
# and/or
ReservedSlotsUserGroup: +reserved
