You can add admins and super admins via the Game.ini file.

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

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

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

    /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
    
  4. Add admin
    Add the section [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession] (if not already present) and enter the SteamID64:

    [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
    AdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
    

    For multiple admins, add each SteamID64 on a new line:

    [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
    AdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
    AdminSteamIDs=76561198087654321
    
  5. Start the server
    Save the file and start your server.

Add super admin

Super admins have extended permissions. Use SuperAdminSteamIDs instead of AdminSteamIDs:

[/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
AdminSteamIDs=76561198087654321

Open admin menu

As an admin, you can open the admin menu in-game by pressing the \ key (backslash). From there you can spawn items, manage gameplay and moderate the server.
