PteroControl uses Discord slash commands to manage connected Pterodactyl and Pelican panels. Command responses are private to the person who invokes them. The exact actions shown can vary with your panel type, version, API permissions, and supported capabilities.

​
Panel connections

Use /panel to manage the panel URLs and API credentials saved to your Discord account.

​
Client commands

​
Servers

Use /client servers to list your available servers and select the server for subsequent management commands.
  • /client servers list
  • /client servers manage

​
Account

Use /client account to access account-level information and settings. Available actions include:
  • Account overview.
  • Two-factor authentication.
  • Activity logs.
  • API keys and SSH keys.
  • Email and password settings.

​
Server

Use /client server after selecting a server. Its available action groups include:
  • Server overview and console commands.
  • Files and folders.
  • Databases and backups.
  • Schedules and schedule tasks.
  • Subusers and permissions.
  • Startup settings and Docker images.
  • Allocations and activity logs.
  • SFTP information.
  • Server rename and reinstall.
The specific action names and options are presented by Discord’s slash-command interface. Some actions are not available on every panel type or version.

​
Administrator commands

Use /admin with an API credential that has the required administrator permissions. Supported resource groups include:
  • Nodes and allocations.
  • Eggs and nests.
  • Mounts and plugins.
  • Webhooks and database hosts.
  • Users and roles.
  • Servers.
Administrator actions can change panel-wide resources. Check the selected panel and the confirmation prompt before proceeding.

​
Help, information, and privacy

/deletedata removes saved panel records and encrypted keys, your selected panel and server, and short-lived cached copies. It does not revoke API keys in your panel or delete submitted bug reports and operational logs. Read the Privacy Policy before requesting deletion.

​
Permissions and safe use

PteroControl acts with the permissions of the API key you provide. Only connect panels and use credentials you own or are authorized to manage. Use a dedicated API key with the smallest set of permissions needed. Actions such as deleting files, reinstalling a server, or changing account settings may be difficult or impossible to reverse. Review command details and confirmation prompts before continuing.
