Admins on a SCUM server are defined exclusively through configuration files. What you enter is the player's SteamID64 – a 17-digit number starting with 7656.
Add an admin
-
Stop the server
Stop your server via the dashboard. The admin lists are only read on server start. -
Connect via SFTP
Connect to your server via SFTP. -
Open AdminUsers.ini
Open the following file. If it does not exist yet, create it:/SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/AdminUsers.ini -
Enter the SteamID64
Enter exactly one SteamID64 per line:76561198012345678 76561198087654321 -
Start the server
Save the file and start your server.
Grant additional permissions
Some commands are not enabled automatically. You allow them by adding a permission suffix in square brackets directly after the SteamID64 – without a space in between:
76561198012345678[SetGodMode]
76561198087654321[SetGodMode, RestartServer]
76561198011223344[RestartServer]
| Suffix | Meaning |
|---|---|
[SetGodMode] |
Allows the command #SetGodMode True and #SetGodMode False. In SCUM this means instant building – not classic invulnerability, you can still die. |
[RestartServer] |
Allows restarting the server with the command #RestartServer pretty please |
Access to the in-game server settings
To additionally let an admin edit the server settings directly in the game, add them to a second file:
/SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini
This file takes only the plain SteamID64 – without square brackets and without suffixes:
76561198012345678
This file is also only read on server start.
