  1. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard.

  2. Connect via SFTP
    Connect to your server via SFTP.

  3. Open Game.ini
    Open the file Game.ini at:

    /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
    /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
  4. Add admin
    Add the section [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession] (if not already present) and enter the SteamID64:

    ini
    [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
    AdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
    [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
    AdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678

    For multiple admins, add each SteamID64 on a new line:

    ini
    [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
    AdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
    AdminSteamIDs=76561198087654321
    [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
    AdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
    AdminSteamIDs=76561198087654321
  5. Start the server
    Save the file and start your server.

Add super admin

Super admins have extended permissions. Use SuperAdminSteamIDs instead of AdminSteamIDs:

ini
[/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
AdminSteamIDs=76561198087654321
[/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
AdminSteamIDs=76561198087654321

Open admin menu

As an admin, you can open the admin menu in-game by pressing the \ key (backslash). From there you can spawn items, manage gameplay and moderate the server.
