An account must be created for each player before they can log into your server and observe or play at any of your poker tables. You can configure your system to allow players to create their own accounts from the player client module (see the "Allow New Accounts" setting on the System tab). Otherwise, you can create player accounts on the Accounts tab in the server module. This page contains a list of all player accounts in your system and toolbar of commands to manage those accounts.
Add - Click the Add button on the toolbar to add a new player account to your site. An input form will be displayed as shown below. Click in any field and a description of that property will be displayed in the yellow box. See the Player Interface - Poker Lobby section to see the interface that the players use to create their own accounts.
Account Properties
Player - Enter a unique player name, from 3 to 12 characters. The player name can only consist of letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores.

Val code - This is a random 5-digit code created and sent by the server to the player's email address when "Validate email addresses" is set to Yes in the System settings. This field is disabled when manually creating accounts from the server.

Buddy List - Click the Buddy List button to add the selected accounts to a Buddy List or to view the Buddy List editor. A buddy list is a list of friends that you can invite via email to log into your poker site.
You can create multiple buddy lists, each with a unique name. Click the "Compose Email Invitation" button to create an email message addressed to all the recipients in the current buddy list. Your default email program will be loaded and a link to your server will be placed in the email message body. You can then customize the message if you wish before sending it.
