Allow Public Access

Lets any Resident enter without having to be on an access list. You can also restrict access based on Payment Information on File or Age Verification.

Allow Voice Chat

Allows Residents to communicate in public voice chat.

Allow Direct Teleport

Lets Residents teleport to specific locations within your estate's regions. If you want to force visitors to arrive at a specific area in the estate, disable this and use a telehub. See Estate and Private Region Telehubs and Direct Teleport.

Send Message To Estate

Notifies every Resident in the estate. For example, a heads-up that you're about to disable public access and begin an exclusive shopping event.

Kick User From Estate

Opens Choose Resident so you can eject a disruptive Resident from the estate. In order to prevent them from returning, you need to add them to the Banned residents list in this tab.

Access lists

Each of these works the same basic way:

Estate Managers

An estate can have only one owner but up to ten estate managers. Only the estate owner can change this list, and since estate managers have great power, trust who you add.

Allowed Residents

Controls which individual Residents can enter your estate if Allow Public Access is disabled.

Allowed groups

Controls which groups can enter your estate if Allow Public Access is disabled.

Banned residents

Controls which Residents can't enter your estate, regardless of other settings. Commonly used to block griefers.

Remove

Select a name in a list and click Remove. You're asked to confirm whether you want to remove this entry for This Estate or All Estates.
