How to Add an Admin to Your Enshrouded Server

In Enshrouded, the first player who joins the server with the admin password becomes the host. You can set the admin password via the dashboard.

Set the Admin Password

  1. Open the dashboard
    Open the dashboard and select your Enshrouded server.

  2. Go to settings
    Navigate to the settings of your server.

  3. Set admin password
    Enter your desired password under Admin Password.

  4. Restart the server
    Save the settings and restart the server.

Join as Admin

  1. Join the server
    Connect to your Enshrouded server.

  2. Enter admin password
    Enter the previously set admin password when joining. The first player who enters the correct password becomes the host.

Note

The host has full management rights on the server. Only share the admin password with trusted players.

Tip

You can also change the admin password directly in the enshrouded_server.json file on the server. Connect to your server via SFTP to do so.
