This guide covers admin setup, console commands, player management, and plugin support for your Rising World dedicated server on Legion Hosting. For initial server setup and configuration, see our Rising World Server Setup Guide.
Admin Setup
Rising World uses a permissions-based admin system. Admins are defined in the server's configuration files and can be granted different levels of access. To set up admin accounts:
- Stop your server in GPanel
- Open the File Manager and navigate to the server root directory
- Open the
permissions.cfgfile (oradmins.cfgdepending on your version) - Add the player's Steam64 ID to the admin list
- Save the file and restart the server
Permissions File Format
# permissions.cfg
# Format: steam64id=permission_group
76561198000000001=admin
76561198000000002=moderatorPermission Groups
Rising World supports multiple permission groups that can be customized. The default groups are:
| Group | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| admin | Full access to all commands, player management, world editing, and server configuration |
| moderator | Player management (kick, ban, mute), teleportation, and basic world commands |
| player | Default group for all connected players with standard gameplay permissions |
| visitor | Restricted group with limited build and interaction permissions |

.jarfile to theplugins/directory in your server root - Restart the server through GPanel
- The plugin will load automatically and create its configuration files in a subfolder within

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Commands not working in chat | Verify your Steam64 ID is correctly added to permissions.cfg with the admin group. Restart the server after editing the file. |
| Plugin fails to load | Check the server console for error messages. Ensure the plugin version matches your Rising World version. Remove the plugin and restart if it causes crashes. |
| Players cannot connect after ban changes | Ensure the ban list file is not corrupted. Try using the unban command from the server console instead of editing the file manually. |
| Permission changes not taking effect | Stop the server completely, edit the file, then restart. Some permission changes are not picked up with a simple reload. |
