Introduction

Granting administrator rights allows you easy and comprehensive management with full control over your server. As an admin, you can use all available options and features the game offers directly in-game. All the steps you need to take to grant administrator rights for your server are described below.

Configuration

Adding an admin is done via the Users.eco config, which you can find in the Configuration tab (raw text view) of your game server.

To add a new player as an admin, the following section in the Users.eco config must be adjusted:

xml

  "Admins": {
    "System.String": {
      "$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, System.Private.CoreLib]], System.Private.CoreLib",
      "$values": []
    }
  },

The player to become admin is entered in the values field. For multiple admins, add them separated by commas. The player is identified by their SteamID64.

You can find this by opening your Steam profile and right-clicking anywhere on the profile page. There you can copy your Steam profile URL.

Then enter the URL on one of the following websites:

There you will get general account information as well as the Steam ID. This is then entered in the values field. The result looks like this:

xml

  "Admins": {
    "System.String": {
      "$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, System.Private.CoreLib]], System.Private.CoreLib",
      "$values": [
			"123456789",
			"anotherSteamID"
	]
    }
  },

After restarting the server, the players listed there have administrator rights. If you want to add more admins, you don't always have to do it via the config. Instead, you can also do it directly in-game with the following command:

Code

/admin [player]
