Admin Password [#admin-password]

The admin password lets any player log in as admin from in-game chat using `#login <password>`.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Set the admin password [#set-the-admin-password]

    In **Arma Reforger Config** > **Game** tab, set the **Admin Password** field. Or in `config.json`:

    ```json
    "game": {
      "passwordAdmin": "YourAdminPassword"
    }
    ```

    > **The admin password does not support spaces.** Use alphanumeric only.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Restart the server [#restart-the-server]
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Log in as admin [#log-in-as-admin]

    Once in-game, open chat (press **C** in lobby or **Enter** in-game) and type:

    ```
    #login YourAdminPassword
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

Available Admin Commands [#available-admin-commands]

| Command            | Description          |
| ------------------ | -------------------- |
| `#kick <playerId>` | Kick a player        |
| `#ban <playerId>`  | Ban a player         |
| `#restart`         | Restart the scenario |

Admin List (Pre-Authorized) [#admin-list-pre-authorized]

Pre-authorize specific players as admins so they can use `#login` without a password and get priority queue access when the server is full.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Add IDs to the admin list [#add-ids-to-the-admin-list]

    In **Arma Reforger Config** > **Game** tab, paste IDs into the **Admins** field. Or in `config.json`:

    ```json
    "game": {
      "admins": [
        "YOUR_IDENTITY_ID_HERE",
        "76561198200329058"
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Restart [#restart]
  </Step>
</Steps>

> **Limits:** The admin list is capped at **20 unique IDs**. Priority queue only works with IdentityIds, not Steam IDs.

See [Admin Setup](/docs/arma-reforger/admin-setup) for the detailed guide.

RCON (Remote Console) [#rcon-remote-console]

RCON lets you administrate the server remotely without being in-game.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Enable RCON [#enable-rcon]

    Add the `rcon` block to `config.json`:

    ```json
    "rcon": {
      "address": "0.0.0.0",
      "port": 19999,
      "password": "YourRconPassword",
      "permission": "admin"
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Restart the server [#restart-the-server-1]
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Connect with an RCON client [#connect-with-an-rcon-client]

    Use any BattlEye RCON-compatible client to connect to your server's IP on port 19999.
  </Step>
</Steps>

See [RCON](/docs/arma-reforger/rcon) for a complete guide.

Game Master Mode [#game-master-mode]

Game Master mode gives you real-time control over the scenario — place objects, manage AI, control events.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Log in as admin [#log-in-as-admin-1]
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Host or join a Game Master scenario [#host-or-join-a-game-master-scenario]
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Use the Game Master tools [#use-the-game-master-tools]

    Open the Game Master menu via the in-game admin tools.
  </Step>
</Steps>

See [Game Master](/docs/arma-reforger/game-master) for the detailed guide.

BattlEye Admin [#battleye-admin]

BattlEye provides its own RCon system for anti-cheat administration. See [BattlEye Configuration](/docs/arma-reforger/battleye) for setup details.
