How to Whitelist Players on Your The Isle Evrima Server

Last updated: August 17, 2026

This guide shows you how to restrict your The Isle Evrima server to approved Steam IDs using the whitelist system. When enabled, only players on the list can join — everyone else is blocked, even if they have the password.

Enable the Whitelist

  1. Stop the server — Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel, select your server, and stop it first.
  2. Open Game.ini — In the left sidebar, click File Manager and navigate to TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini.
  3. Enable whitelist mode — bServerWhitelist goes under [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]: 
    [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
bServerWhitelist=true
    The WhitelistIDs entries go under a different section ([/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]) — see the next step.
  4. Add Steam IDs — Under [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase], add each player's SteamID64 on its own line: 
    [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000001
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000002
WhitelistIDs=76561198000000003
  5. Save and start the server from the Console.

Find a Player's SteamID64

Players can find their own ID at steamid.io — enter the Steam profile URL and copy the steamID64 value (a 17-digit number starting with 7656).

Manage the Whitelist Live (RCON)

You can add and remove whitelist entries without restarting using RCON commands (see the RCON guide):

CommandDescription
addwhitelist 76561198000000001Add a player to the whitelist
removewhitelist 76561198000000001Remove a player
togglewhitelistToggle whitelist on/off

Disable the Whitelist

To open your server to all players (subject to password if set):

  • Set bServerWhitelist=false in Game.ini and restart, or
  • Run togglewhitelist via RCON to disable it immediately without a restart.
