Whitelist is a list of authorized players who can join a specific server. It is an access control mechanism that allows server administrators to manage who has the right to join the game. Thanks to the whitelist, the server is protected from unwanted players who might disrupt the gameplay or introduce unwanted modifications. In practice, whitelists are often used on private servers utilized by closed communities. Administrators can regularly update the list, adding new players or removing those who violate the rules. In this guide, you will learn step by step how to add and remove users from the whitelist of your Factorio server.
How to manage whitelist via command line
If you want to add or remove individual users from the server’s whitelist, first join your server as an administrator.
If you haven’t given yourself administrator rights yet, check out our guide!
Then, select the tilde (~) to launch the in-game console. Depending on your needs, enter the appropriate command. The list of available commands is in the table below:
| Command | Description |
| /whitelist add <UserName> | Executing this command will add the player to the server’s whitelist. |
| /whitelist remove <UserName> | Executing this command will remove the player from the server’s whitelist. |
| /whitelist get | Executing this command will allow you to view the list of all players on the server’s whitelist. |
| /whitelist clear | Executing this command will remove all users from the server’s whitelist, effectively disabling it. The list will be enabled again when at least one user appears on it. |
