How to Add Admins to Your Insurgency: Sandstorm Server
Admins are set via the Admins.txt file by adding each player's SteamID64. An admin can then open the admin menu in-game (bound by default to the Minus key on the numpad).

Save the file and start your server. Changes only take effect after a restart (or map change).
Tip
You can create multiple admin lists with different names and choose which one loads via the launch parameter -AdminList=FileName (file name without .txt). This lets you switch quickly between different admin teams, for example.
Note
Make sure the file is named exactly Admins.txt (not Admins.txt.txt — Windows hides known file extensions by default).
