How to Configure Reserved Slots on Your Squad Server<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the GGServers Panel and Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

Log in to your account at the GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. Before adjusting slot allocations, you must Stop<\/strong> your server. This ensures the configuration changes are properly written to the server files before it restarts.<\/p>\n
