Management Team
See who runs your servers (the owner and every admin) and, if you're the owner, add or remove admins without needing to give them a Discord role.
01Free and Premium
- Free: 2 admins added from the panel.
- Premium: up to 50 admins.
People who get admin from your Discord admin role never count toward this limit. Only admins you add here do. If you drop back to Free, the newest extra admins are paused instead of removed.
02What it does
Management Team shows everyone who can manage your servers on Surge, with their Discord name and profile picture. At the top is the owner, the person who connected the server to Surge. Below that are the admins.
Normally people get admin access by having your Discord admin role. Management Team gives the owner a second way in: you can add someone as an admin directly, even if they don't have that role. Think of it as a bypass for people you trust but don't want to (or can't) give a Discord role to.
03Who can do what
- The owner can see the team, add admins and remove admins, and open Admin Configuration to choose which dashboard areas admins can use.
- Admins can see the whole team, but it's view-only for them. They can't add or remove anyone, and they can't open Admin Configuration.
04Adding an admin
- 1Open Management → Management Team (you need to be the owner).
- 2Click Add Admin.
- 3Start typing their Discord name or their in-game name. Suggestions appear as you type, showing each person's in-game name, Discord name and avatar.
- 4Pick the right person from the list.
- 5Check it's the right person on the card that pops up, then click Make admin. They have access straight away.
The person only shows up in the search if they've logged into the Surge website with Discord and linked their in-game name. If you can't find someone, that's almost always why. Ask them to log in and link their name first, then try again.
05What admins get
Admins added here can open the owner's servers, the same as someone with the Discord admin role. What they can do inside the dashboard is set in Admin Configuration. If you have not changed that yet, they can use every area. There's no per-server list of people, so only add people you'd trust with every server on your account.
To take access away, the owner simply removes them from the team.
06Discord role admins
Anyone who has your Discord admin role (the one you picked with /admin-role) also shows up in the team, marked as Discord role. They appear once they've opened one of your servers on the website, and if they lose the role they drop off the list. They're managed from Discord, not from here. To remove one of them, take the role off them in your Discord.
Use the Discord role for your regular staff team, and Management Team for the odd person who isn't in your Discord or shouldn't have a staff role there, like a co-owner or a developer helping you out.
