How to Add an Admin to Your Citadel Forged with Fire Server

Citadel Forged with Fire does not work with an admin list of SteamIDs but with an admin password: whoever logs in with that password in the game has admin rights. So you do not have to collect any IDs – you simply share the password with the people who should get admin rights.

Set the admin password

1. Open the dashboard
   Open the dashboard of your server and switch to the settings.

2. Enter the password
   Enter your desired password in the field for the admin password.

3. Restart the server
   Save the change and restart your server so the new password is applied.

Log in as an admin

1. Join the server
   Join your server. See Join Server for how to find it.

2. Open the chat
   Open the chat window in the game.

3. Log in
   Enter the following command together with your admin password:

   /admin_login <password>
   

4. Use your rights
   The admin commands are now available to you, for example /who for a list of all logged-in players.

Give up admin rights

If you want to drop your admin rights for the current session, enter the following in the chat:

/admin_logout

Use the Remote Console in the browser

As an alternative to the in-game chat you can run admin commands through the built-in Remote Console in your browser – handy when you are not in the game right now.

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

2. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Open Game.ini
   Open the following file:

   /Config/Game.ini
   

4. Add the section
   Add the following section and set the additional port from your dashboard as WebServerPort:

   [/script/citadel.remoteconsole]
   WebServerPort=<additional port>
   WebServerUsername=<username>
   WebServerPass=<password>
   

5. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server.

6. Open the interface
   Open the IP address of your server together with the configured port in your browser:

   http://<server IP>:<port>
   

   Log in with the credentials you set above. Use list or help to show the available commands.
