Install Server Admin Tools

Set up administration tools for your Arma Reforger server including admin password, RCON, and Game Master access.

Arma Reforger offers several ways to administrate your server. This guide covers all the available admin tools and how to set them up.

Admin Password

The admin password lets you log in as an admin directly from in-game chat.

In your server config JSON, set passwordAdmin under the game section:

server-config.json

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

⚠️ Warning: The admin password does not support spaces.

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

#login YourAdminPassword

Once logged in, you can use commands like:

You can pre-authorize players as admins so they can log in without a password:

server-config.json

"game": {
    "admins": [
        "YOUR_IDENTITY_ID_HERE",
        "76561198200329058"
    ]
}

Listed admins can use #login without entering a password and get priority queue access when joining a full server.

📝 Note: The admin list is limited to 20 unique IDs. Priority queue only works with IdentityIds, not Steam IDs.

See Adding Admins for a detailed guide.

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

Add the rcon section to your server config:

server-config.json

"rcon": {
    "address": "0.0.0.0",
    "port": 19999,
    "password": "YourRconPassword",
    "permission": "admin"
}

Use any BattlEye RCON-compatible client to connect to your server's IP on port 19999.

See RCON for a complete guide.

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

See Game Master for a detailed guide.

BattlEye provides its own RCon system for anti-cheat administration.

See BattlEye Configuration for setup details.
