How to Add Admins on Your Arma Reforger Server

Arma Reforger has two ways to grant admin: a password anyone can use, and a Steam ID whitelist for passwordless login.

Setting the Admin Password

Via Config Editor

1. In the XGamingServer Panel, click Arma Reforger Config
2. Go to the Game tab
3. Set the Admin Password field
4. Click Save Changes

Via config.json

"game": {
    "passwordAdmin": "YourAdminPassword"
}

Alphanumeric only, no spaces.

Logging In as Admin (In-Game)

1. Press C in the lobby or Enter in-game to open chat
2. Type: #login YourAdminPassword
3. Press Enter

Once authenticated, you can access Game Master from the pause menu and use admin commands.

Steam ID Whitelist (Passwordless Admin)

Add Steam64 IDs to the admins array — these players can type #login without a password:

Via Config Editor

1. Go to Game tab
2. In the Admin Steam/Identity IDs field, enter one ID per line (max 20)
3. Save

Via config.json

"admins": [
    "76561198012345678",
    "76561198087654321"
]
