How To Add Admins On Your Eco Server

Grant admin access to trusted players on your Eco server using their Steam64 or SLG ID.

Eco identifies admins by Steam64 ID or SLG ID — usernames alone do not work. You'll need to find the player's ID first, then add it to the admin list.

Finding a Player's ID

Visit steamid.io and enter the player's Steam profile URL or username. Copy their SteamID64 — a 17-digit number starting with 7656.

If the player is in your active game session, run this in chat:

/whois <username>

This displays their Steam64 or SLG ID.

Adding an Admin

Stop your server

In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and stop your server.

Open Users.eco

Click Files in the sidebar, navigate to the Configs folder, and open Users.eco.

Add the admin entry

Locate the Admins array and add the player's ID:

"Admins": [
  "76561198012345678"
]

To add multiple admins, separate entries with a comma:

"Admins": [
  "76561198012345678",
  "76561198087654321"
]

Save and start

Click Save Content and start your server from Console. The player has admin access on next connect.

Admin Commands

Once promoted, admins can use these commands in the in-game chat:

Command	Description
`/kick <name>`	Kick a player
`/ban <name>`	Ban a player
`/unban <name>`	Remove a ban
`/serverui`	Open the server configuration UI
`/time <hours>`	Set the in-game time
`/whois <name>`	Get a player's Steam64/SLG ID
`/teleport <name>`	Teleport to a player

Managing Admins via UI

Existing admins can manage other admins from the in-game UI:

Run /serverui in chat
Navigate to the Users tab
Promote/demote players from there

Tip: Always use Users.eco for permanent admin assignments. The in-game UI is convenient but file-based config is the source of truth.
