    Blacklist/whitelist player names,
    Create a new file named securitysetup.cfg in the directory Base/Scripts, paste the following and editing accordingly:
    Code:
    # set this to 1 to allow only the names in whitelist
    whitelist_active = 0;
    whitelist = name1; name2;
# set this to 1 to ban the names in blacklist
    blacklist_active = 0;
    blacklist = name1; name2;
    Note: whitelist overrides blacklist. If you whitelist PlayerA, everybody but PlayerA will be kickbanned on join.

    Do not look for anything relevant logged in the console logs, as this is semi-official at the moment.
    It does work though. If you're on the banlist you end up joining an empty server as Unnamed Player until the timeout kicks in (about 20 seconds or so). During that period you are unable to alter the map in any way.

    Is it possible to use the whitelist to make 'priority' players? (for example the player names of a few regulars get guaranteed slots even if server is full) or is it exclusively a whitelist/blacklist one way or the other

    The latter, no priority list for the moment. I'm trying to be exhaustive in most of the "serious"/instructive posts I make (especially stickied ones). If such function was implemented it would have been explicitly mentioned :rollseyes:

    Minor update as the blacklist is working differently at the moment

    Code:
    # security setup
# set this to 1 to allow only the names in whitelist

    whitelist_active = 0;
    whitelist =  names; go; here; 

#blacklist format: name; IP; expiration time and date h:m:s:d:M:y; reason;
#    IP of 0 means no IP is banned, and the user is just banned by username.
#        Username of 0.0.0.0 means no IP is banned for that entry
#    The time is in C++ struct tm format except for the year, which is human readable.
#        eg: 10:30:0:31:11:2050 is 10:30 AM on the 31st of December 2050AD

    blacklist = name1; 0.0.0.0; 10:30:0:31:11:2050; Banned; 
        name2; 12.34.45.78; 10:30:0:31:11:2050; Banned;
