Setting a player as an admin will allow them to use lots of useful and fun commands, such as burn, ban and slay. You can find a list of CS:GO admin commands here, keep in mind that more can be added with plugins.
While the vanilla version of CS:GO doesn't have an admin or permission system, SourceMod and MetaMod do.
Making a Player an Admin
To make a player an admin, you will need to add their SteamID to the admins_simple.ini file.
- Find the SteamID of your desired Steam user by following this guide.
- Access your control panel and Start your server.
- Navigate to Files > FTP File Access.
- Navigate to and Edit csgo/addons/sourcemod/configs/admins_simple.ini.
- On a new line paste
"<STEAM ID>" "<IMMUNITY>:<LETTER>".
- Replace the placeholders with the proper information. We will be giving a player the highest admin permissions level (immunity 99, letter Z).
- Navigate to Console.
- Enter the command
sm_reloadadmins.
Immunity Levels and Permission Letters
Immunity levels allow server owners to define which permissions admins have access to. Admins with a lower level of immunity will not be able to run commands that directly affect admins with a higher level of immunity.
An immunity level of 99 is the highest, meaning no other admins can run commands on an admin with that immunity level. By default, admins with the same immunity value can run commands on each other.
If you would like to have more control over what permissions are available to a certain player, you can change the Z in the configuration file with any of the following letter options:
| Permission Letter | Description |
|---|---|
| z | Enable all other permissions and ignore immunity values. |
| a | Reserved slot access. |
| b | Generic, required for all admins without the Z permission. |
| c | Kick other players. |
| d | Ban other players. |
| e | Remove bans. |
| f | Slay and damage other players via commands. |
| g | Change the map or major gameplay features. |
| h | Change most cvars (options via the console). |
| i | Execute config files. |
| j | Special chat privileges (muting). |
| k | Start or create votes. |
| l | Set a password on the server. |
| m | Use RCON Commands. |
| n | Change sv_cheats or use cheating commands. |
