The Isle Evrima Password & Whitelist Setup

The Isle Guide • Updated Aug 22, 2026

The Isle Evrima Password and Whitelist Setup

Password protection and a SteamID64 whitelist solve different problems. A password is easy for a small group; a whitelist is stricter and lets the server decide who may enter. Configure one policy at a time and test it with a second account.

Password-protect a private server

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
bServerPassword=true
ServerPassword=choose-a-private-password
bServerWhitelist=false

Restart after saving. If the server appears public after the change, verify that you edited the active platform file and that the section header is exactly [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession].

Enable a SteamID64 whitelist

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
bServerWhitelist=true

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000000
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000001
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198000000000
VIPs=

Use one line per ID if the current template expects repeated Unreal array keys. Other references show comma-separated values; follow the syntax already present in your generated file instead of mixing formats. A full SteamID64 is required, not a nickname.

Lockout prevention checklist

  • Add at least one known admin before turning the whitelist on.
  • Keep a backup of Game.ini before editing.
  • Restart, then test with an allowed and a deliberately unlisted account.
  • If nobody can join, disable the whitelist temporarily; do not delete Saved.
  • Check the client is on Evrima before treating a rejection as a whitelist failure.
Private does not mean hidden. A passworded server can still appear in the browser. Use a whitelist when the goal is to restrict the player set rather than merely add a join secret.

For admin IDs and RCON moderation, continue with The Isle RCON and admin commands guide. For a managed private pack server, see Supercraft's The Isle plans.
