Is there any way to set a limit to one running server per.account?
Let's say I want to restrict users from double-booking by limiting their account to only one running temp.server at any given time.
I have only been able to set a weekly limit booking-limit, but restricting user accounts from runnint multiple servers simultaneously would be the way to go.

Second, is there any way to see WHO has booked a temp.server?
When I navigate to Temp.Servers history, I only see server names and settings but I would like to see Name/Username/E-mail of the owner for each server.

This system is working like a charm, people (including myself) are happy to trash the contact form for booking Laughing

Hey,

There is no way via the GC interface no.

1) An alternative is to use the MakeBooking web service API to code yourself your own booking screen that interacts with the GC system to actually start the server - that's a lot of work though. Read more about this service at http://doc.gamecreate.com/ManualWebService

2) You could hide access (you can't currently disable it though) from <domain>.gamecreate.com/bookings and instead use the 'Temporary Servers Integration Example' (at http://www.gamecreate.com/downloads.php) to wrap the booking form in your own website. You could then keep track manually on your end when people book servers, and then just stop them booking another one during that time.

You can see who booked servers on the <domain>.gamecreate.com/bookings page, that info isn't available at the moment via the admin screen.

You may want to ask users to please only book servers they are going to use, that way you won't have wasted resources with unused bookings.

Thanks for the info, Andrew Smile

I see that the GC-system uses the account-holders real name as default server name.
Example "Anders Johnson's server".

What is the variable for the full name or account username? I could use this to identify who owns the server by making this a hidden option that can be viewed by admins.
