# Creating Accounts

To be able to log in to your new server you need an account. 

It is recommended to use security level 3 for your own account.

Run the following commands in the Worldserver console.

## To create an account

```
account create <user> <pass>
```

**Example:**

```
account create admin admin
```

## To set your account security level

| Level | Security Level    |
|-------|-------------------|
| 0     | SEC_PLAYER        |
| 1     | SEC_MODERATOR     |
| 2     | SEC_GAMEMASTER    |
| 3     | SEC_ADMINISTRATOR |

```
account set gmlevel <user> <level> <realm>
```

**Example:**

```
account set gmlevel admin 3 -1
```

{% include note.html content="Use -1 to select all realms, or specify the specific realm id." %}

## Changing password

```
account set password <user> <password> <password>
```

**Example:**

```
account set password admin 1234 1234
```

## Higher security level

The highest security level is SEC_CONSOLE (4) which your worldserver has by default.

It has access to account management and is not recommended for in-game accounts for anyone that does not know what they are doing.

To update an account to security level 4 you need to manually edit the fields in the database or run the query below.

```sql
UPDATE `account_access` AS `access`
INNER JOIN `account` AS `account` ON `access`.`id` = `account`.`id`
SET `gmlevel` = 4 WHERE `username` = '<user>';
```
