Enshrouded has a unique user-role-based administration system that was added shortly after the game's release. This system lets players log in to the server with different role passwords, allowing them to connect and play as admins or any other available role. This also allows players to customize roles and experiment with permissions; for example, by adding a role with no password, any user can join the server and play with the set restrictions.
