Setting a Server Admin Password on your ARK Server allows you to become an admin on your server and use cheat commands. By default, there is no password set.
You can set a Server Admin Password with the following steps:
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to Config.
- Open GameUserSettings.ini.
- Set
ServerAdminPassword
to the desired password, and save the file.
- Start the server.
Once your server restarts, you can become an admin on your server by entering the following command in-game (press tab): enablecheats <your password>
A full list of commands you can use as an admin can be found on the ARK Wiki.
