How To Whitelist Players On Your Valheim Server

A whitelist lets you choose exactly who can join your Valheim server. Valheim uses a file called permittedlist.txt for this. It works the same way as adding admins: one player ID per line.

Whitelisting Players In Valheim

1. 1
   Log in to Bropanel and select your Valheim server.
2. 2
   In the sidebar, go to Files.
3. 3
   Select the .config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/ folder.
4. 4
   Here, find the file named permittedlist.txt.
5. 5
   Add each player on their own line using the prefix for their platform followed by their platform ID. For two Steam players it should look like this:

   V_76561198106341655
   V_76561198012345678
   

6. 6
   Restart your server.

The prefix depends on which platform the player is on:

Removing Players From The Whitelist

To remove a player, delete their line from permittedlist.txt and restart your server.

To open your server to everyone again, delete every line so the file is empty, then restart.
