アカウントをバンし制限する

Last updated on October 23, 2024

Introduction

The user ban feature allows you to restrict a user's access to your game or specific features in your game. You can ban players and lift existing bans in the AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) Admin Portal.

AGS allows you to impose the following banning methods:

  • Account Ban: Revoke access tokens for banned players.
  • Feature Ban: Invalidate access tokens for specific in-game features.
  • Device Ban: Restrict access to your game from a specific device using its unique ID.
注意

All ban actions will revoke existing access tokens.

  • If it's an account ban, the refresh_token will also be revoked. This means the user can't login using their credentials or a refresh_token.
  • If it's a feature ban, the refresh_token will still be valid. This means the user can use the refresh_token to log in immediately.
  • If the ban is on the game namespace, it will only affect that game namespace.
  • If the ban is on the publisher namespace, it will affect both the publisher and the game namespace.

Prerequisites

  • Make sure you have access to the Admin Portal.

  • Make sure you have the following permissions:

Ban scope

  • If you ban a player at the publisher namespace level, the ban will apply to all the namespaces in it.
AGS Shared Cloud

In Shared Cloud tier, this applies to the studio namespace, which has the same function as the publisher namespace in the Private Cloud tier.

  • If you ban a player at the game namespace level, the ban only applies to the specific game namespace.

    備考

    Players that log into your game using third-party credentials may only have a headless account in the Admin Portal. This means their account won't have an associated email address. Only players that have registered an account in your game (or platform), or have upgraded their headless account by registering an email address in your game, will be able to receive an email notification if they're banned. For more information, see How accounts work.

Ban or un-ban a player

Use the following server-side code to ban a player.

string playerUserID = "exampleuserid2434";
BanType banType = BanType.LOGIN;
BanReason banReason = BanReason.CHEATING;
var banEndDate = System.DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(value: 365);
banEndDate = banEndDate.AddDays(365);
string comment = "This player was caught cheating";
bool notifyUserEmail = false;
string banId = string.Empty;

AccelByteSDK.GetServerRegistry().GetApi().GetUserAccount().BanUser(playerUserID, banType, banReason, banEndDate, comment, notifyUserEmail, result =>
{
if (!result.IsError)
{
Debug.Log("Success. The player is banned.");
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Failed to ban the player. Error : " + result.Error.ToString());
}
});

banId could be used to un-ban the player.

AccelByteSDK.GetServerRegistry().GetApi().GetUserAccount().ChangeUserBanStatus(
userId: playerUserID,
banId: banId,
enabled: false,
(result) =>
{
if (result.IsError)
{
Debug.Log("Success. Player is unbanned.");
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Failed to un-ban the player. Error : " + result.Error.ToString());
}
}
);

Ban notifications

Use the following code to implement ban notifications on the client side. Using this method, players can be told that they have been banned and the reason why.

AccelByteSDK.GetClientRegistry().GetApi().GetLobby().UserBannedNotification += result =>
{
Debug.Log("You have been banned. Reason: " + result.Value.reason);
};
