Arma Reforger Server Admin Tools Setup
Set up administration tools for your Arma Reforger server including admin password, RCON, Game Master access, and BattlEye RCon.
Arma Reforger offers several ways to administrate your server. This guide is the high-level overview — see linked guides for the full setup of each tool.
Tools at a Glance
| Tool | Use Case | Requires In-Game? |
|---|---|---|
| Admin Password | Quick admin commands via #login | Yes |
| Admin List | Pre-authorized admins (no password needed) | Yes |
| RCON | Remote server management | No |
| Game Master | Real-time scenario control | Yes |
| BattlEye RCon | Anti-cheat administration | No |
Admin Password
The admin password lets any player log in as admin from in-game chat using #login <password>.
Set the admin password
In Arma Reforger Config > Game tab, set the Admin Password field. Or in config.json:
"game": {
"passwordAdmin": "YourAdminPassword"
}The admin password does not support spaces. Use alphanumeric only.
Log in as admin
Once in-game, open chat (press C in lobby or Enter in-game) and type:
#login YourAdminPasswordAvailable Admin Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
#kick <playerId> | Kick a player |
#ban <playerId> | Ban a player |
#restart | Restart the scenario |
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.
Add IDs to the admin list
In Arma Reforger Config > Game tab, paste IDs into the Admins field. Or in config.json:
"game": {
"admins": [
"YOUR_IDENTITY_ID_HERE",
"76561198200329058"
]
}Limits: The admin list is capped at 20 unique IDs. Priority queue only works with IdentityIds, not Steam IDs.
See Admin Setup for the detailed guide.
RCON (Remote Console)
RCON lets you administrate the server remotely without being in-game.
Enable RCON
Add the rcon block to config.json:
"rcon": {
"address": "0.0.0.0",
"port": 19999,
"password": "YourRconPassword",
"permission": "admin"
}Connect with an RCON client
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
Game Master mode gives you real-time control over the scenario — place objects, manage AI, control events.
Use the Game Master tools
Open the Game Master menu via the in-game admin tools.
See Game Master for the detailed guide.
BattlEye Admin
BattlEye provides its own RCon system for anti-cheat administration. See BattlEye Configuration for setup details.
