How To Add Admins To Your SCUM Server

Managing player permissions and granting administrative privileges is essential for maintaining a healthy gaming environment. Your SCUM server uses two separate files to handle different types of admin permissions.

Server Settings Admin Access

ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini allows you to access the in-game Server Settings menu to configure your server.

  1. Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. Navigate to /SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/.
  4. Here, find the file named ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini.
  5. Add a new entry on its own line in SteamID64 format. It should look like this:
    76561198072786081
    
  6. Start your server.

General Admin Commands

AdminUsers.ini allows you to use in-game admin commands for general server management.

  1. Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. Navigate to /SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/.
  4. Here, find the file named AdminUsers.ini.
  5. Add a new entry on its own line in SteamID64 format. It should look like this:
    76561198072786081
    
  6. Start your server.
