ARK: Become an admin

Become Admin

Administrator rights allow you to make changes directly in the game on your server without having to change it in the Config. In order to assign administrator rights to yourself or other players, you must first define a server admin password. This password is defined in the settings of our webinterface.

Once the password has been defined, the server is required to be rebooted. Afterwards you can connect to your server and log in as admin via the in-game console with the following command and your server admin password:

enableCheats password

Afterwards you can execute all server commands as admin. In the following you will find an overview of the most used commands.
