Whitelisting

Whitelisting controls who can join your DayZ server.

If whitelist is enabled, only approved players can enter. This gives you more control over community quality, moderation load, and support effort.

What whitelisting includes in dzbot​

1) Global whitelist access​

  • Turn on Whitelist enabled to restrict access to approved players only.
  • All players with the access right "Players -> Whitelist" are automatically whitelisted.

2) Synchronize player lists to the game server​

  • Turn on the server setting Synchronize player lists so whitelist and restriction (ban) decisions are applied to your Nitrado server.
  • Without this, the whitelist will be ignored by Nitrado and has no effect on the game server.
  • Important: once enabled, dzbot becomes the source of truth and existing list entries on the game server are overwritten.

3) Manual player approval​

  • In the player detail view, admins can add a player to whitelist or remove them again.
  • This is useful for trusted players, support cases, and controlled test access.

4) Auto-whitelist for linked players​

  • Configurable in the server settings ("Players & Access"): "Auto-whitelist linked players"
  • Automatically whitelists players who have linked their accounts to dzbot.
  • This removes manual work and speeds up onboarding for legitimate players.

5) Auto-whitelist multi-accounts of whitelisted players​

  • Configurable in the server settings ("Players & Access"): "Auto-whitelist multi-accounts of whitelisted players"
  • Every account that shares a game device with a whitelisted player is whitelisted too, no matter why that player is on the list (manually, through the access right, or as a linked player).
  • The shared device can have been seen on any server of your organization, so a player's second account can join right away, even on a server it has never played on.
  • Only a shared game device counts — matches from the multi-account detection (same browser, same network, console switches) do not.
  • Banned or blocked accounts are left out, and a banned player brings no accounts along.

6) Scheduled whitelist​

Use the scheduler to enable or disable the whitelist on a schedule (e.g. over night).
