How To Add Admins To Your Colony Survival Server

Colony Survival grants admin permissions through a permissionusers.json file in your world's save folder rather than a Settings toggle. Here's how to add yourself, or another player, as an admin on your Colony Survival server.

Adding An Admin

1. 1
   Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
2. 2
   In the sidebar, go to Files and navigate to gamedata/savegames, then open the folder matching your World Name (DefaultSave by default).
3. 3
   Open permissionusers.json. If it doesn't exist yet, click Create File to make one.
4. 4
   Add an entry keyed with 1. followed by the player's Steam64 ID, with the god group. Add multiple players as separate entries in the same file, for example:

   {
     "1.76561198106341655": { "includes": ["god"] },
     "1.76561325467543212": { "includes": ["god"] }
   }
   

5. 5
   Start your server.
