Players and keeping one out

Who's on now

The Players tab shows every player on your server right now: their name, player ID, when they joined, and how long they've played. The table fills while the server runs, and the number of players online also shows on the Overview page.

Or type in the console:

players

The player ID is a 32-character string of letters and digits that identifies each player's account.

What Windrose doesn't have

A Windrose server comes with no kick, no ban and no whitelist, and it can't send players a message. None of this is missing from your server. It's missing from the game itself, so there's no button for it in the panel.

Only two things decide who gets into your server: the invite code and the password.

Keep a player out

To keep out a player you don't want, change both at once:

Open the Settings tab, put a new password in the Password field, and press Apply
Open the Connect tab and press Regenerate code
Restart your server. The restart drops everyone online, and after it only players with the new code and the new password get in
Send the new code and password only to the friends you want

If Direct connection is on, your server's address doesn't change, so the password alone keeps players out. Change it and restart.

Anyone you give the code and the password to can pass them on. Windrose has no way to block one specific player.
