Administrators
Manage platform configuration, users, protected servers, releases, evidence and system-level controls through the Admin Control Center.
Responsible administration
Devil-Guard permissions must be used only for authorised protection, server operations, evidence review and accountable enforcement.
Role separation
Server Hosts
Operate only the protected servers and credentials assigned to them. Server Host access must not be used as general administrative authority.
Server Council
Review eligible appeals and redacted evidence through the Council portal. Council voting remains separate from Admin-only controls.
Players and Clients
Players manage their own identity, aliases, personal tokens, sessions, restrictions and appeals through the Client Portal.
Protection decisions
Verify before action
Review the linked account, game identity, server session, detection evidence and current enforcement state before applying or extending a restriction.
Record the reason
Use specific, factual reasons. Avoid vague labels, personal attacks or unsupported claims that prevent later review.
Respect appeal rules
Do not bypass the Server Council process for eligible overturns. Direct Admin or Server Host access must not be used to create an unrecorded Council decision.
Preserve audit history
Do not delete or alter records merely to hide a mistake. Correct inaccurate information through the supported workflow and retain the audit trail.
Security and privacy
Least privilege
Assign only the minimum role required. Remove access promptly when responsibilities change or an account is no longer authorised.
Secret handling
Never expose APP_KEY values, server API tokens, personal client tokens, passwords, database credentials or private evidence-storage paths.
Private data
Do not publish player IP addresses, machine identifiers, filesystem paths or unredacted evidence outside authorised review areas.
Secure changes
Back up the website and database before upgrades, use the release-specific migration order and verify the deployment before reopening access.
Operational standard
Every privileged action should withstand review
Use Devil-Guard controls consistently, document important decisions and escalate uncertainty rather than making irreversible changes without evidence or authority.
