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 directly offers. All the steps you need to take to assign administrator rights for your server are described below.
Admin rights are managed via the adminlist.txt configuration file. You can find this file in the Configuration tab (raw text view) of your game server. To add an admin, you need the player's SteamID64. You get this by opening your Steam profile and right-clicking anywhere on the page to open the context menu. There you can copy the page URL. You can then enter this URL on one of the following websites: https://steamid.io/ https://steamrep.com/ https://steamidfinder.com/
Enter your copied Steam profile URL into the field, and you will receive your SteamID64. Insert the SteamID64 into the adminlist.txt configuration file. To do this, go to the Configuration tab (raw text view) of your game server and open adminlist.txt.
If you want to assign admin rights to multiple players, each SteamID must be on its own line.
Before you can use admin rights in the game, you must enable the console for your game. Connect to your server and go to the settings. There you need to enable the Console Enabled option. By default, you can open the console with the grave accent key (^) on your keyboard. You can then activate admin rights in the console using the command adminauth.
Here is a brief overview of the most common admin commands you can execute on your server.
