Allowing clients to connect as moderator

You can allow clients to connect to your server with moderator privileges—that is, they may start games and kick other clients. To connect as a moderator, clients need a special password.

  1. Choose Quinn > Preferences…, and click Server in the toolbar.
  2. Click to select the checkbox labeled “Allow connecting as moderator.”
  3. Enter a password, and click OK.

Important: If you have a general password for all clients, those clients who attempt to connect as moderators are not asked for the “general” password. Only the moderator password is required when connecting as moderator.

To connect with moderator privileges, select the checkbox labeled “Connect as Moderator” in the Connect panel.

The change will take effect immediately, that is, all players who connect from now on as moderators will be asked for the password. The password will never be transferred over the network in clear text.
