  1. Create or choose the Steam group you want to use for the whitelist.
  2. Invite every allowed player to that Steam group.
  3. Find the group ID: How to find a Steam Group ID.
  4. Open your Space Engineers server in the control panel.
  5. Click Configuration Files.
  6. Open worlds\SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg with Config Editor.
