How To Add An Admin On Your Core Keeper Server

Setting a player as an admin can be an extremely powerful tool used for managing your server. You're able to give as many players admin as you'd like, which is useful for banning unruly players even when you're offline.

Admins can access the Manage Players menu and regenerate a new Game ID should be desired.

# Adding an Admin Through Server Files

You can add an admin to your server using the Admins.json file located in your server files.

1. Log in to your control panel and Stop your server.
2. Navigate to your server files.
3. Locate and Open the Admins.json file.
4. Find your Steam64ID and the character name you use when connecting to your server.
5. Add the following information between { "adminList": [ ... ] }

{
   "index": 1,
   "privileges": 1,
   "name": "USERNAME_OF_CHARACTER",
   "steamId": REPLACE_WITH_STEAM64ID    
}

6. Save and Restart your server.

# Adding an Admin Through the In-Game Menu

Before adding any admins via the in-game menu, it's important to make yourself admin first. Once a player has been set as admin, they'll be able to give admin to any other player.

1. Ensure you're currently a server admin by following the previous section.
2. Connect to your Core Keeper server via our guide here.
3. Enter the pause menu by pressing ESC.
4. Press the star next to the player you want to be admin.
5. Click Yes to confirm you'd like to give that player admin permissions.

Now that you've set yourself to be a server admin, it's possible to manage your server by banning players or resetting your Game ID.
