Enshrouded Server Ignoring enshrouded_server.json

[Iain_B]

OS Name/Version: Windows 11

Product Name/Version: AMP Release “Phobos” v2.6.2

Problem Description: Enshrouded server is ignoring user groups in the enshrouded_server.json

I have edited the default usergroup and added a second but AMP is ignoring them.

“userGroups”: [
{
“name”: “Friends”,
“password”: “XXXXXXXX”,
“canKickBan”: false,
“canAccessInventories”: true,
“canEditBase”: true,
“canExtendBase”: true,
“reservedSlots”: 2
}
{
“name”: “Admin”,
“password”: “XXXXXXXX”,
“canKickBan”: true,
“canAccessInventories”: true,
“canEditBase”: true,
“canExtendBase”: true,
“reservedSlots”: 1
}
]

I have restarted the server multiple times bit when I try to connect it won’t accept the password for either group.

Any ideas?

AMP is not ignoring anything, that’s purely a server configuration. Is the JSON valid?

[Iain_B]

I believe so?

My enshrouded_server.json file is located in:

C:\AMPDatastore\Instances\DTF_Enshrouded0101\enshrouded\2278520

and it contains:

Did you edit it outside amp, like through windows explorer? If so you have likely broken file perms so the server can’t read the file

Edit: that isn’t valid JSON, need a comma between Friends and Admins blocks

[Iain_B]

Oh! I didn’t know I could edit it inside amp!

Edited and working.

thanks!
