Access Control

Configure multi-user access to your PC2 node.

Overview

By default, the first wallet to login becomes the Owner. The owner can add additional wallets, assign roles, remove access, and manage all settings.

Roles

Role	Permissions
Owner	Full access, manage all wallets, system settings
Admin	Full data access, cannot manage other admins
Member	Own wallet scope only, limited settings

Enabling Access Control

Access control is disabled by default. To enable:

From UI

1. Go to Settings -> Security
2. Find "Access Control" section
3. Toggle "Enable Access Control"
4. Click Save

From Config

Edit data/config/pc2.json:

{
  "accessControl": {
    "enabled": true,
    "allowedWallets": []
  }
}

Adding Wallets

Only the Owner can add new wallets.

1. Go to Settings -> Security
2. Find "Allowed Wallets" section
3. Enter wallet address (0x...)
4. Select role (Admin or Member)
5. Click "Add Wallet"

Removing Wallets

1. Go to Settings -> Security
2. Find the wallet in the list
3. Click the trash icon

That wallet can no longer access your node.
