User Management

PalCenter uses persistent local accounts. Only Administrators can open Users and manage other accounts.

Roles

Role Access
Administrator Full access, including servers, notifications, backups, and users
Moderator View data and perform server or player operations
Visitor Read-only dashboard, settings, monitoring, and event access

Role checks are enforced by the PalCenter API, not only by hidden UI controls.

Create a user

  1. Open Users from the sidebar or profile menu.
  2. Select Create User.
  3. Enter a username, email address, temporary password, and role.
  4. Select Create User.

The new user must replace the temporary password at first sign-in.

Edit or disable a user

Administrators can change a user's username, email, role, and enabled state. Disabled users cannot sign in. Role or password changes invalidate affected sessions as appropriate.

PalCenter prevents deleting or disabling the last enabled Administrator.

Profile management

Every signed-in user can open Profile from the account menu to view account information and change their password. Password changes require the current password.

Security recommendations

  • Give Administrator access only to trusted operators.
  • Use Moderator for daily server operations.
  • Use Visitor for read-only monitoring.
  • Disable accounts that no longer need access.
  • Use unique passwords and HTTPS for remote access.
