Exclusive Users<\/strong> are the only players allowed to join the server \u2014 if someone\u2019s not on this list, they won\u2019t be able to connect at all. This functions like a strict whitelist.
Whitelisted Users<\/strong>, on the other hand, get priority access. If the server is full, a whitelisted user can still join by replacing a regular player.

FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- What are Exclusive Users in SCUM?<\/strong>
Exclusive Users are the only players allowed to connect to your server. If a player is not on this list, they will be denied access completely.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- How is this different from Whitelisted Users?<\/strong>
Whitelisted Users get priority when the server is full, but they don\u2019t bypass access restrictions. Exclusive Users, however, are the only ones who can join when even a single entry exists in the list.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Can I use both Whitelisted and Exclusive Users together?<\/strong>
Yes, you can use both lists at the same time, but keep in mind that if the Exclusive Users<\/strong> list has even one player, only those listed will be able to join the server \u2014 even if others are on the Whitelisted Users<\/strong> list. The Exclusive list overrides the Whitelist in terms of access control.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Do I need to restart the server after editing ExclusiveUsers.ini?<\/strong>
Yes, but it’s more recommended to stop the server before editing and start it again after saving the changes.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Where do I find the ExclusiveUsers.ini file?<\/strong>
Go to \/SCUM\/Saved\/Config\/WindowsServer<\/code> in your server files and open ExclusiveUsers.ini<\/code>.
