What is a MineStrator sub-user in MyBox?

A MineStrator sub-user is an additional account you link to your server in the MyBox panel with limited, selectable permissions. A sub-user can be allowed to start/stop the server, view status, access the console, or manage files depending on what you grant. In 2026, the safest practice is to treat sub-users like “role-based access” and only enable the exact actions they need. At MineStrator, we recommend starting with monitoring-only permissions and expanding later if required.

How do you add a sub-user on MineStrator in 2026?

To add a sub-user on MineStrator, open your MyBox panel, go to the Sub-users tab, create a new sub-user, and enter the person’s MineStrator email or username. Then select the permissions you want to grant and confirm to save. The invited person must already have a MineStrator account, otherwise the link cannot be created. After saving, the sub-user will see the server in their MineBoard with only the rights you assigned.

Which permissions should you give a MineStrator sub-user?

MineStrator sub-user permissions should be granted using the principle of least privilege: give the minimum rights needed for the task. For routine help, allow basic actions like server start/stop and status monitoring, and avoid console access and file access unless the person is fully trusted. Console and file permissions can change configs, delete data, or destabilize a server in minutes. Based on MineStrator support experience, most permission issues in 2026 come from granting too many rights too early rather than too few.

Can you edit MineStrator sub-user permissions later?

Yes, MineStrator sub-user permissions can be changed at any time from the Sub-users tab in your MyBox panel. You can add or remove rights instantly to match new responsibilities, staff changes, or new server features. In 2026, MineStrator recommends reviewing sub-user permissions at least once per month for active servers and immediately after any team change. This reduces security risk while keeping management flexible.

Why can’t a MineStrator sub-user see the server?

A MineStrator sub-user usually can’t see the server because the email/username was entered incorrectly or the required permission wasn’t granted. Double-check the exact MineStrator identifier used for login, then verify the sub-user is saved and has at least the permission needed to view/manage the server. If the identifier and permissions are correct, ask the sub-user to log out and log back into their MineBoard to refresh access. In MineStrator troubleshooting, a reconnect fixes the visibility issue in most cases.

🔧 Add a Sub-User on MineStrator (2026 Guide)

Want to let a friend help you manage your MineStrator server without handing over the keys to the kingdom? That’s exactly what a sub-user is for.

A sub-user is a trusted person you add to your MyBox panel with specific permissions. Depending on what you allow, they can start or stop the server, access files, use the console, or simply monitor what’s going on.

In this 2026 guide, you’ll learn how to add a sub-user step by step, and how to avoid common permission mistakes.

Add a sub-user on MineStrator

Before you start, make sure the person you want to add already has a MineStrator account. You’ll need the email address or the username linked to that account to invite them properly.

Once you have it, you’ll add them from your MyBox panel and choose exactly what they’re allowed to do.

Get the sub-user email or username

Ask your future sub-user for the email address or MineStrator username they use to log in. This is the identifier your panel will use to link their MineBoard to your server.

If you enter the wrong info, the invitation won’t reach the right account, so double-check it before moving on.

Create the sub-user in your MyBox panel

Open your MyBox panel, then go to the Sub-users tab. From there, create a new sub-user and enter the email address or username you collected.

You’ll then be able to select which permissions to grant, depending on how much control you want to share.

Choose the right permissions

When the dialog box appears, enter the email address or username, then tick the permissions you want to grant. After selecting the right options, scroll down and confirm to save the sub-user.

💡 Tip: Start with minimal permissions, then add more only if your sub-user actually needs them.

⚠️ Warning: Avoid giving file access and console access unless you fully trust the person. These permissions can impact server stability fast.

Verify access from the sub-user MineBoard

Once confirmed, your sub-user can manage the server from their MineBoard, within the limits of the permissions you granted. If something is missing, you can edit their rights anytime from the same Sub-users tab.

📝 Note: If the sub-user can’t see the server right away, ask them to log out and back in to refresh their MineBoard.

Questions frequently asked

Does my sub-user need a MineStrator account?

Yes. You can only add a sub-user using an existing MineStrator email address or username. Without an account, they won’t be able to access your server from their MineBoard.

Can I change permissions later?

Yes. You can edit permissions at any time from the Sub-users tab in your MyBox panel. It’s a good idea to review rights after staff changes or new server features.

Why can’t my sub-user see the server?

Most of the time, it’s a typo in the email/username or a missing permission. Verify the identifier, then ask them to reconnect to their MineBoard to refresh access.
