SCUM Easy AdminServer password
Empty means open to everyone. Set means only those who know it get in.
scum.ServerPassword=
What does this setting do?
A password turns a public server into a private one. It is the sharpest access switch SCUM has, and it applies instantly to everyone — including regulars who do not know it yet.
For permanently closed groups a whitelist is the better tool, because it admits individual players instead of relying on a shared secret that gets passed around anyway. A password mostly pays off temporarily: while setting up, while testing, or while dealing with troublemakers.
Which value suits my server?
Empty, unless the server is deliberately private.
Empty.
Empty.
What to watch out for
A password set on the spur of the moment hits the regulars first. Announce it in your Discord, or everyone is left outside.
With a password the server still appears in the list but cannot be entered. New players then only arrive by invitation — the opposite of what you want while building up.
