# Enabling Whitelist

### How Enable Whitelist

1. First, open your server on [panel.stratanode.net](panel.stratanode.net) and navigate to the console.

2. In the console, type the command "whitelist on" to enable the whitelist.

|| Remember that all commands typed into the console do not require a "/" before them. If you're typing these commands in-game, make sure to include a "/" before them.

3.  Check the console for a confirmation message indicating that the whitelist has been turned on
