# How to Enable Admin Whitelist on a Renown Server

Enabling an admin whitelist is an important step for server owners, and knowing how to enable admin whitelist on a Renown server ensures that you can maintain control and protect your community from unwanted players or griefers. By activating the whitelist, administrators can restrict access to trusted users, secure admin commands, and keep gameplay stable and enjoyable. This feature helps manage who can join, grant access to in-game tools, and maintain a safe environment for testing, building, or private sessions, making it essential for any Renown server focused on controlled and reliable gameplay.
