How to Add an Admin on your Barotrauma Server

Barotrauma server administrators have access to a range of server management commands including kicking/banning players, changing server settings, spawning items and a lot more.


Adding an Administrator

Administrators can be set by adding their name and Steam64ID in the Barotrauma Permission Settings section of your control panel.

  1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  2. Navigate to Files > Config Files.
  3. Click Barotrauma Server Settings.
  4. Set Validate Files to Disabled.
  5. Go back to Config files, and click Barotrauma Client Settings.
  6. Replace the existing <ClientPermissions /> line with the following snippet (if it hasn't been changed yet):
    <ClientPermissions>
    </ClientPermissions>​
  7. Enter the following between <ClientPermissions> and </ClientPermissions>:
      <Client
        name="NAME"
        accountid="STEAM64ID"
        preset="Admin"
      >
        <command name="givecommandperm" />
      </Client>​

  8. Save and Start your server.
