MTA: Become an admin on MTA servers

🔐 Become werden

Administrator rights allow you to make changes directly in the game on your server without having to change it in the Config.

📋 Preparation

First of all a user account has to be created which will later be given the admin rights. To do this you have to execute the following command in the Live Console:

addaccount <USERNAME> <PASSWORD>

The Live Console can be found in the gameserver dashboard in the interface while the server is running. This looks like this:

Configuration

Once the account has been created, the account must be added to the Admin Group in the acl.xml Config. For this we connect to the server via FTP and open the file. The file is located at gXXXX/gtamta/mods/deathmatch/. If you don't know yet what a FTP client is and how to use it, then have a look at the following guide: FTP file access

<group name="Admin">
    <acl name="Moderator"></acl>
    <acl name="SuperModerator"></acl>
    <acl name="Admin"></acl>
    <acl name="RPC"></acl>
    <object name="resource.admin"></object>
    <object name="resource.webadmin"></object>
    <object name="resource.acpanel"></object>
</group>

There you have to add a user object to assign the user to the Admin Group:

<object name="user.BENUTZERNAME"></object>

Instead of the username you type in your own username there. The result of this should look like this:

<group name="Admin">
    <acl name="Moderator"></acl>
    <acl name="SuperModerator"></acl>
    <acl name="Admin"></acl>
    <acl name="RPC"></acl>
    <object name="resource.admin"></object>
    <object name="resource.webadmin"></object>
    <object name="resource.acpanel"></object>
    <object name="user.Benutzername"></object>
</group>

Log in as admin

Now that you have finished the configuration of the acl.xml config you can start your game/server and connect to your server. Afterwards you can log in with the following command:

login USERNAME PASSWORD

Now you have your administrator privileges and you can manage your server as you wish!
