<!DOCTYPE markdown> # 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

``` 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>'; ```
