How to Add an Admin to Your Necesse Server

Necesse has no admin file that you could edit via SFTP. Permissions are granted exclusively with the /permissions command – either directly in the console of your dashboard or in the in-game chat. You always specify the player name, not the SteamID64.

Permission levels

Add an admin via the console

The most reliable way is the console in the dashboard. You do not need any permissions there yourself – the console talks to the server directly.

1. Start the server
   Start your server via the dashboard if it is not running already.

2. Have the player connect
   The player who is supposed to receive permissions must join the server and stay online. You can find out how to join under Join Server.

3. Open the console
   Open the console of your server in the dashboard.

4. Grant the permissions
   Enter the following command and replace <PlayerName> with the exact name of the player:

   /permissions set <PlayerName> admin
   

5. Check the result
   The server confirms the change in the console. The permissions apply immediately – no restart is required.

Add an admin in the game

If you already hold the owner level yourself, you can also grant permissions directly in the game.

1. Open the chat
   Press Enter in the game to open the chat.

2. Enter the command
   Use the same command as in the console:

   /permissions set <PlayerName> moderator
   

Check and revoke permissions
