  4. How to set or remove a password on your ATLAS server

A join password keeps an ATLAS server private without giving players access to admin commands. It is separate from ServerAdminPassword.

  1. Open your ATLAS server in the control panel and stop it.
  2. Click Configuration Files.
  3. Find GameUserSettings.ini and click Text Editor.
  4. Under [ServerSettings], set ServerPassword=ExampleJoinPassword, replacing the example with the password players should use.

  5. Click Save & Exit, then start the server and reconnect with the new password.

To make the server public again, stop it, leave ServerPassword= empty, save and restart. Do not clear ServerAdminPassword unless you also intend to disable password-based admin access.
