How To Add Admins To Your Don't Starve Together Server

Admins can kick and ban players, roll the world back and run console commands on your Don't Starve Together server while they play. You add admins by their Klei User ID, which starts with KU_.

Finding A Klei User ID

Each player can find their own Klei User ID: start Don't Starve Together and click Account on the main menu. Klei's account page opens in your browser and shows the ID.

Your server's Console also shows the ID of everyone who joins, on a line like Client authenticated: (KU_AbCd1234) PlayerName. To list the players online right now with their IDs, enter c_listplayers() in the Console.

Adding Admins

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Basic, edit Admins and enter the Klei User IDs, separated by commas, for example KU_AbCd1234, KU_EfGh5678.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

To remove an admin, take their ID out of Admins and click Save & Restart again.

What Admins Can Do

In the chat, admins can use /kick, /ban, /rollback and /regenerate, and the player list has kick and ban buttons for them. Players who aren't admins can only call a vote for some of these.

Admins can run console commands on the server while they play, too. Press the ~ key in game to open the console. It starts in Remote: mode, which runs commands on the server instead of in your own game, and Ctrl switches between Remote: and Local:. See Admin Commands for useful commands.

Note

Admins replaces the server's adminlist.txt file on every start. If you leave Admins blank, an adminlist.txt you edited yourself in DoNotStarveTogether/config/server is kept.
