Here's how to add admins on your Squad server using the Admins.cfg file.
Adding Admins Using Admins.cfg
- 1Log in to Bropanel and
Stopyour server. - 2In the sidebar, go to
Files. - 3Navigate to
SquadGame/ServerConfig/and openAdmins.cfg. - 4At the bottom, add a line for each admin with their Steam64 ID and a group name, replacing the placeholder with the player's ID:
Admin=ADMIN_STEAM64_ID:Admin Admin=MODERATOR_STEAM64_ID:Moderator - 5Save the file and start your server.
Two groups exist by default: Admin can kick, ban and change maps, while Moderator can only kick and ban.
Admins run admin commands such as AdminKick or AdminChangeLayer from the in-game console. The same commands work over RCON.
Creating Custom Groups
You can create your own groups by adding a Group= line above your admins, listing the permissions the group should have:
Group=MyGroup:kick,ban,changemap,chat,canseeadminchat,reserve
Admin=PLAYER_STEAM64_ID:MyGroup
