How to Add Admins on Your CSGO Server

Here's how to add admins on your CSGO server using SourceMod. Game Host Bros CSGO servers come with SourceMod preinstalled, so you can get started right away.

Adding Admins Using admins_simple.ini

  1. 1
    Access the Game Host Bros Panel and select your CSGO server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
  3. 3
    Navigate to /csgo/addons/sourcemod/configs/admins_simple.ini.
  4. 4
    At the bottom, add a new line with your SteamID in the following format:
    // PlayerName
    "STEAM_0:1:12345678" "99:z"
    
  5. 5
    Restart your server or type sm_reloadadmins in the server console.

The 99:z flag grants full admin permissions (root access).

Advanced: Permission Flags

You can customize the permission flags to restrict what each admin can do. Flags can be combined into a single string, for example "99:abcd" would grant reserved slots, generic admin, kick, and ban permissions. Flags definitions are found in admin_levels.cfg.
