Adding yourself as an Admin on your DayZ server is a great way to have better control over your server. It gives you access to all console commands and allows you to ban or kick players should you need to.

#Adding Yourself as an Admin

You can become an admin by using the admin password found in your server config file.

Access your control panel and Stop the server.
Navigate to the Files tab.
Locate and open the serverDZ.cfg file.
Locate passwordAdmin = " "; and add your desired password between the quote marks.
Click Save and Restart your server.
Join your server and open the in-game chat by pressing enter and type #login password.
