Most machines in Mekanism have a security setting, allowing the owner to control who can access their machine. The exact mechanics are documented below:

Effect

If a player does not have access to a machine, they will be unable to mine or use the machine in any way. If the machine is somehow destroyed by a player without access, it will not drop the contents of its inventory if it has one.

Note that server oeprators bypass security settings, unless the relevant config option is disabled.

Configuration

When a player first places a machine, they will automatically be set as the owner of it. The owner of a block always has access to it.

A machine has three security modes: Public, Private, and Trusted.

In Public mode, all players have access to the machine.

In Private mode, only the owner has access to the machine.

In Trusted mode, the owner and their trusted players have access to the machine.

To check or change the security mode of a machine, open their GUI and click on the lock icon.

Trusted Setting

In group play, sometimes it is desirable for a machine to only be accessible to members of your group. In order to accomplish this, set the relevant machines' security setting to trusted, then mark all relevant players as trusted.

To mark a player as trusted, one must craft and place the Security Desk. Once placed, the player can then add the names of players to become trusted, and manage already trusted players. For more information, visit the article.
