Unturned Admin Setup

Unturned Admin Setup - מאגר מידע

This guide explains how to grant admin permissions on your Unturned server, manage an admin list, and use in-game admin commands. For initial server configuration, see the Unturned Server Setup Guide.

Admin Permissions Overview

Admins on an Unturned server can kick and ban players, spawn items, change the time of day, save the map, and run other server commands. There are two methods for granting admin access: the Owner directive in Commands.dat and the Adminlist.dat file.

Method 1: Server Owner (Commands.dat)

The Owner directive in Commands.dat grants full admin rights to a single SteamID automatically every time the server starts. This is the simplest way to make yourself an admin.

Open Commands.dat in the GPanel file manager or via SFTP:

Servers/default/Commands.dat

Add the following line with your 64-bit SteamID:

Owner 76561198000000000

Restart required: Changes to Commands.dat only take effect after a full server restart from GPanel.

Method 2: Admin List (Adminlist.dat)

To grant admin to multiple players, use the Adminlist.dat file. This file is located at:

Servers/default/Adminlist.dat

Add one 64-bit SteamID per line:

76561198000000001
76561198000000002
76561198000000003

Every SteamID listed in this file will have full admin permissions on the server. Restart the server after editing for changes to take effect.

Finding Your SteamID

Both methods above require a 64-bit SteamID (the long numeric format starting with 7656119...). To find it:

Visit steamid.io.
Paste your Steam profile URL or username and click Lookup.
Copy the steamID64 value.

Tip: You can also find a player's SteamID by viewing their Steam profile in a browser — the number in the URL is their SteamID64 if their profile uses the default URL format.

In-Game Admin Commands

Once you have admin access, press Enter in-game to open the chat box and type commands with a / prefix:

Command	Description
`/admin [SteamID]`	Grant admin to a player (added to Adminlist.dat at runtime).
`/unadmin [SteamID]`	Remove admin from a player.
`/kick [player]`	Kick a player from the server.
`/ban [player] [reason]`	Ban a player.
`/unban [SteamID]`	Unban a previously banned player.
`/day` / `/night`	Change time of day.
`/weather [none/storm]`	Change the weather.
`/give [player] [itemID] [amount]`	Give an item to a player.
`/vehicle [player] [vehicleID]`	Spawn a vehicle for a player.
`/teleport [player] [target]`	Teleport a player to another player or location.
`/save`	Force-save the current map state.
`/shutdown`	Gracefully shut down the server.

Tip: You can also run these commands from the GPanel console without the / prefix.

RocketMod / LDM Permissions

If your server uses RocketMod or LDM plugins, admin permissions for plugin commands are managed separately through the Rocket permissions system. See the Unturned Mod and Plugin Installation guide for details on Rocket permission groups.
