Configure Your Server Admins

  1. Start the server and let the configs load. Once the Saves folder pops up you should see your serveradmin.xml

  1. Look up the Steam64 id using a tool like this: https://steamid.io/

  2. Open serveradmin.xml by clicking on it and look for the following between these tags: <users></users>

<!-- <user steamID="76561198021925107" name="Hint on who this user is" permission_level="0" /> -->
<!-- <group steamID="103582791434672565" name="Steam Universe" permission_level_default="1000" permission_level_mod="0" /> -->
  1. Add a line that includes your own steamID, a name, and the permission_level you want (Most admins use 0). You will also want to remove the comment tags: <!-- and -->
<!-- <user steamID="76561198021925107" name="Hint on who this user is" permission_level="0" /> -->
<!-- <group steamID="103582791434672565" name="Steam Universe" permission_level_default="1000" permission_level_mod="0" /> -->
<user steamID="1234567890122333454" name="AmazingAdmin" permission_level="0" />
