If you're hosting an SCP: 5K server, you will likely need admins to manage gameplay and enforce rules. Adding an admin is straightforward, but the process requires specific steps to ensure it works correctly.
Admins on your server will have the ability to execute commands and manage players. This is especially important when hosting large groups or public communities. Keep in mind that admin privileges should only be given to trusted players.
