How to Add an Admin to Your Mordhau Server

Admins on a Mordhau server are entered in the Game.ini. What you use is the player's PlayFab ID – not their SteamID64.

Find out the PlayFab ID

You read a player's PlayFab ID through RCON. The player has to be online on your server for this.

1. Set up RCON
   How to enable RCON and connect to it is described under Kick & Ban Players.

2. List the players
   Run the following command through RCON:

   playerlist
   

3. Copy the ID
   The server returns one line per player with the PlayFab ID and the player name. Copy the ID of the player you want to make an admin.

Add an admin through the Game.ini

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

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

3. Open the Game.ini
   Open the following file:

   /Mordhau/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
   

4. Enter the admins
   In the section [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession] add one Admins= line per admin:

   [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession]
   Admins=909275ECE8FEDDB
   Admins=A1B2C3D4E5F6789
   

5. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server. The admin list is read on server start.

Set an admin password

In addition to the admin list, Mordhau supports an admin password for your server. It is set in the same section of the Game.ini:

[/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession]
AdminPassword=YourAdminPassword

Manage admins through RCON

Once RCON is set up you can also manage admins while the server is running – without stopping it.
