How to Add Admins to Your Insurgency: Sandstorm Server

Admins are set via the Admins.txt file by adding each player's SteamID64. An admin can then open the admin menu in-game (bound by default to the Minus key on the numpad).

3. Create the folder
   Go to the folder Insurgency/Config/Server/. If the Config and Server folders do not exist yet, create them.

4. Create Admins.txt
   In this folder, create the file Admins.txt (if it does not already exist).

5. Enter the SteamID64
   Enter the SteamID64 of each admin – one ID per line:

   76561198000000001
   

6. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server. Changes only take effect after a restart (or map change).
