This guide covers how to set up server admin access on your V Rising dedicated server, use console commands, and manage your admin list. For server configuration and connecting, see V Rising Dedicated Server Setup Guide.

Enabling the Admin Console

The in-game console must be enabled before you can enter any commands. This is a client-side setting, not a server setting.

1. Launch V Rising and open Options from the main menu.
2. Go to the General tab.
3. Find Console Enabled and set it to On.
4. Press the backtick key (`) during gameplay to open the console. On some keyboard layouts this key may be tilde (~).

Adding Yourself as an Admin

V Rising uses a list of SteamID64 values to determine who has admin privileges on the server. You need to add your SteamID to the admin list file on the server.

Step 1 — Find Your SteamID64

Your SteamID64 is a 17-digit number. To find it:

• Open your Steam profile in a web browser. If your custom URL is set, the profile page URL will look like https://steamcommunity.com/id/yourname/.
• Use a tool such as steamid.io — paste your Steam profile URL and copy the steamID64 value.

Step 2 — Edit the Admin List File

1. Log in to GPanel and stop your server from the Console tab.
2. Go to the Files tab and navigate to VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/.
3. Open the file named adminlist.txt. If it does not exist, create a new file with that exact name in the same directory.
4. Add your SteamID64 on its own line. You can add multiple admins by placing each SteamID64 on a separate line.
5. Save the file and start the server.

Authenticating as Admin In-Game

After your SteamID has been added to adminlist.txt and the server has been restarted, you must authenticate in-game before admin commands will work.

1. Connect to your server and open the console with the backtick key (`).
2. Type the following command and press Enter:

adminauth

You should see a confirmation message in the console. You now have admin privileges for the current session. You must re-authenticate each time you reconnect to the server.

Useful Admin Console Commands

The following commands are available after authenticating with adminauth. Open the console with the backtick key and type the command exactly as shown.

Ban List File

In addition to using the ban command in-game, you can manage bans directly via a file on the server.

1. In GPanel, navigate to VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/ in the Files tab.
2. Open or create the file banlist.txt.
3. Add the SteamID64 of each player you want to ban, one per line.
4. Save the file and restart the server for changes to take effect.

Removing an Admin

To remove admin access from a player:

1. Stop the server from GPanel.
2. Open VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/adminlist.txt in the file editor.
3. Delete the line containing the player's SteamID64.
4. Save the file and start the server.
