Managing a Wreckfest server can be a big responsibility, especially when you’re focused on creating an enjoyable racing experience for everyone. One way to share the load is by granting admin privileges to trusted players. Admins can help manage the server, enforce rules, and keep gameplay running smoothly.
Only grant admin privileges to players you trust, as admins have significant control over your server.
In this guide, we'll show you how to add admins to your Wreckfest server by editing the server configuration file. This method ensures that admin privileges are automatically granted each time the server starts, making it easier to maintain consistent server management.
