Warcraft

Language

The language of your game. The launcher installs the matching language pack for you.

Look at one player in depth: their web account, every linked game account, each account's characters, and ban status. Ban, unban, and delete characters from here.

A group is a starting set of permissions. There are two kinds. Administration groups form a ladder, from the highest to the lowest: someone can only change people below their own group. Other groups are where players live; they have no rank, so you can add as many as you like without changing who outranks whom, and an Administration group is above all of them. master (everything, always, top of the ladder) is the only built-in group. The Other group marked new players start here is copied onto every new registration.

Every realm is listed here. A realm becomes live in three steps: register it and set up its machine (the setup sheet), upload the public certificate its Services made, then the master presses Approve (the check must pass first). Suspended and unapproved realms are never contacted.

One row per client. Allow for all players releases a client to everybody (use it for a new client); Remove from all players retires it. "Default" means every new account starts with it ticked.

Link and unlink game accounts. Each side shows enough detail - login history, last IP, characters, and whether it's banned - to judge whether a link request looks legitimate before you move anything.

Every download found in the Downloads folder: the clients, the launcher and the misc downloads, each with all its versions (major > version). Choose which one is live; it is what players and the launcher are offered from the next request on, no restart. A version that is incomplete (no download.properties, no type, no file in files, or a bad visible_to) cannot go live. Refresh

Settings for the whole site. They apply from the next page load, no restart.

Posts for the News page, the front page and the launcher. The text is shown exactly as typed (plain text, line breaks are kept). A hidden post stays saved but nobody else sees it; pinned posts stay on top.

A ban, unban or GM level change made while no realm answers is saved here and applied, in order, as soon as one does. A change that is not applied within 72 hours is dropped. The person who queued a change, or the master, can cancel it while it waits.

Service accounts that aren't real players, such as an auction house account. They stay out of player account lists and are never linked for Playerbots.
