Therefore, only add people you trust.

Notes on permissions:

1) Start permission is required to access the server page and therefore to Stop/Restart the server

2) Options permission is required to access the options page and therefore to reinstall the server

3) Your friend can switch to any software. Some types of software require to reinstall the server. Your friend will be able to reinstall the server by switching the software even without the reinstall permission

4) Connecting the backups to a Google Drive account is still only possible by the account owner. People with the backups permission are not able to connect them to their google drive account

5) This permission also allows your friend to edit their own permission, which basically gives them all permissions. This is why it automatically enables all permissions when you toggle this permission.
