# How to Add Moderators on Your American Truck Simulator Server (/docs/american-truck-simulator/moderator-setup)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Moderators are added directly in `server_config.sii` using their SteamID64. They receive admin abilities automatically when joining.

Adding Moderators [#adding-moderators]

1. Get each player's SteamID64 at [steamid.io](https://steamid.io/)
2. Stop your server
3. In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), click **Files**
4. Open `server_config.sii`
5. Find the `moderator_list` line and update it:

```
 moderator_list: 2
 moderator_list[0]: 76561198012345678
 moderator_list[1]: 76561198087654321
```

The number after `moderator_list:` must match the total count of entries.

6. Save and start your server

What Moderators Can Do [#what-moderators-can-do]

| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| `/set_time HH:MM`        | Change the in-game time                    |
| `/set_rain_factor <0-1>` | Control rain intensity (0 = none, 1 = max) |
| `/help`                  | List available commands                    |

Removing a Moderator [#removing-a-moderator]

Delete their entry, update the count, and renumber the remaining entries:
