FAQ

Frequently asked questions

In your game server dashboard, open the Configuration tab and enter the player's Steam64 ID in the Admin Steam IDs field under Startup Parameters. Save your changes and restart the server to grant admin permissions.
Enter all Steam64 IDs in the Admin Steam IDs field, separated by commas. Then save your changes and restart the server.
Each time your server starts, it rebuilds the admin list in server_config.xml using the Admin Steam IDs startup parameter. Admins added directly to the file are removed after the next restart. Always add admins using Startup Parameters.
