Disconnect from your Mumble server if you are currently on it and pull up the Connect dialog (Server -> Connect).

If you need to change your SuperUser password you may do so at any time in the control panel. Once this is done, click the "OK" button and connect to the server. After you're connected as SuperUser, you can perform administrative actions such as adding/removing channels and changing permissions.

How do I change permissions?

Simply right click the root channel click 'Edit' -> go to the 'Groups' tab and select the group you would like to change permissions for from the dropdown menu. You can then add users to this group. To change the entire group's permissions - go to the ACL tab and select the group you would like to modify and select the permissions on the right hand pane using the checkboxes.

One of my users can't connect to my server, but others can. What should I do?

Please make sure that the user trying to connect is using the most recent version of the Mumble client and has correctly configured your server on it. If that all checks out, make sure that the user is not connecting from a restrictive network. Common restrictive networks include some workplace, school and mobile networks. If you need help diagnosing this or other issues, please feel free to contact support. We'll need you to provide us with the connecting IP address of the client so we may diagnose possible routing issues. You may obtain this by having the user visit http://www.whatismyip.com/.
