How to Assign Ranks on Your SCP: Secret Laboratory Server

Using the config_remoteadmin.txt file you can grant players admin, moderator or owner rights on your server.

Warning

The path to the configuration file contains your server port: /config/<Port>/config_remoteadmin.txt. Replace <Port> with the actual port of your server. You can find the port in the dashboard under Overview.

    Open the dashboard of your server and note the server port shown under Overview.

  2. Stop the server

  5. Add an entry to the Members section
    Find the Members: section and add your player using the following format:

Warning

The file config_remoteadmin.txt is picky about formatting. Make sure the indentation, quotes and dashes of each entry are correct, otherwise the server will fail to load the file properly.

Note

Changes to the rank configuration only take effect after a server restart — there is no hot-reload.
