# How to enable the whitelist on a Java server

The whitelist restricts access to a Java server to players you have added.

## Steps

1. Open the [NexusCloud panel](https://panel.nexuscloud.id/) and select your server.
2. Open **Console**.
3. Scroll down, then click the **Type a command** field.
4. Enter `whitelist on`, then press **Enter**.
5. Enter `whitelist add playername`, replace `playername` with the player you want to allow, then press **Enter**.

That player can now join your server.

## Notes

- Repeat `whitelist add playername` for every player you want to add.
- Enter the player's Minecraft username exactly.
