Summary
Enshrouded has a unique administration system in the form of user roles that was added shortly after the game's release. This system allows players to log into the server using 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 no password to a role, any user can join the server and play with the set restrictions.
