<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" standalone="yes"?>
<values>
  <add key="Service.User" value="tcagame" type="System.String,mscorlib" />
</values>

• Restart the service manager.

cd /home/tcadmin/Monitor
./serviceman-service restart

• Restart the service from the control panel or from the service browser and it should start as the new user.

Apply for a Teamspeak License

If you don't have a Teamspeak license you will not be able to create Teamspeak virtual servers. You will get a "virtualserver limit reached" error.

Teamspeak Browser

Use the Teamspeak browser to manage virtual servers even if they are not assigned to a user.

Assign Existing Virtual Server to a User

To assign a virtual server select it from the list. On the right select the user from the list and click on Apply.

Move Player to Different Channel

To move a player to a different channel drag its icon to that channel.

Teamspeak Server Owner

A Teamspeak server can be assigned to a user or reseller. If a user owns the Teamspeak server he is able to create unlimited virtual servers as long as the Teamspeak license allows it. When a Teamspeak server is assigned to a user it is not used by the billing API or by reseller packages.
