How to Become an Admin on Your Squad 44 Server

Using the Admins.cfg file you can assign admin or moderator rights to players. In Squad 44, admins are always assigned to a group that defines which permissions they have.

Add an admin

1. Find SteamID64
   Note down the SteamID64 of the player you want to give admin rights to.

2. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

3. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

4. Open Admins.cfg
   Navigate to and open the following file:

   /PostScriptum/ServerConfig/Admins.cfg

5. Add admin entry
   Add a new line at the end of the file in the following format:

   Admin=SteamID64:Group

   Example:

   Admin=76561198000000000:Admin

6. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server via the dashboard.

Default groups

Squad 44 ships with predefined groups in Admins.cfg that you can use right away:

Group	Description
Admin	Full access to all admin functions
Moderator	Limited moderation rights (e.g. kick, ban, chat)
Whitelist	Reserved slot without admin rights

Create your own group

You can also create your own groups with custom permissions. Add a line in the following format:

Group=GroupName:Right1,Right2,Right3

Example:

Group=Helper:kick,ban,chat

You can then assign this group to players:

Admin=76561198000000000:Helper

Warning

Pay attention to the exact spelling of group and permission names. Typos will cause the server to fail to load the file correctly.

Note

Changes to Admins.cfg only take effect after restarting the server.
