Dune: Awakening - Permissions & Trust, Game Guide

Correction: 00:28 As of Patch 1.2.0.0 on 09 Sept. 2025, permission/trust levels were reassigned so 1 = Public, 2 = Guild, 3 = Associate, 4 = Guild, and 5 = Owner. Exactly the opposite of what they were originally since launch. Boggles the mind, but that happened. Please keep this in mind as this video was made before the changes.

In this video, I detail how the permissions and trust system works in Dune Awakening. By setting access levels to items and assigning roles to other players, you can easily protect and/or share your materials, land claims, and vehicles.

I discuss the access levels of public, guild, associate, co-owner, and owner. For your friends, you really only have control over associate and co-owner designations.

For vehicles, there are predefined sets of permissions; you only need to assign which role matches the level of access you want to provide to another player. To be a passenger, friends must be assigned as associates on the vehicle; to drive/pilot, the friend must be a co-owner.

While sharing property can provide a lot of benefits and utility for gameplay, there area number of specific risks that the permission system does not protect against...that's why I discuss the importance of 'trust'. I review a number of scenarios that could put your property at risk. I also give some strategies to help mitigate a number of these concerns.

Build your sub-fief console on solid ground, lock down your power generating utilities, allow trusted friends access to sub-fief console so they can 'refuel generators', always set access levels on chests in case base power goes out. Pentashields and Prudence doors will prevent people following you through open doors when they don't have access. Share your water, but be careful, like everything, it requires trust.
