How to Add an Admin to Your HumanitZ Server

Add an admin to a HumanitZ server

3 min read
Jul 30, 2026

HumanitZ works with an admin password: you store it in the configuration file of your server, and whoever enters it in the game with a chat command gets admin rights. There is currently no working admin list based on SteamIDs.

Set the admin password

  1. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard. The configuration file is only read on server start.

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

  3. Open the configuration file
    Open the following file:

    /HumanitZServer/GameServerSettings.ini
    
  4. Enter the password
    Enter the admin password you want in the [Host Settings] section:

    [Host Settings]
    AdminPass="YourAdminPassword"
    
  5. Start the server
    Save the file and start your server.

Unlock admin rights in the game

  1. Join the server
    Join your server. How to do that is described in Join Server.

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

  3. Enter the command
    Enter the following command with your admin password:

    /AdminAccess YourAdminPassword
    
  4. Use admin commands
    From now on the admin commands are available to you.
