This area controls the live game — moderation and enrollment vetting. Operators only.
This is the same login you use to play — your character and its own password. If that character is an operator, the console opens; signing in here also signs you in to play, so there's just the one login. A claim that's still being vetted can't open the console yet.
Leaving Character blank uses the host bootstrap credential, which exists only until a named operator can sign in.
