How to Configure Reserved Slots on Your Squad Server

For community owners and administrators, ensuring that staff members and VIPs can access the server even during peak hours is vital. Reserved slots allow designated players to bypass full-capacity restrictions, ensuring your moderation team can always get into the game to manage the community. Follow this guide to set up reserved slots using the GGServers panel.

Step 1: Access the GGServers Panel and Stop Your Server

Log in to your account at the GGServers Control Panel. Before adjusting slot allocations, you must Stop your server. This ensures the configuration changes are properly written to the server files before it restarts.
