How to Set Up Admin on Your Icarus Server
Set an admin password and use admin commands on your Icarus dedicated server — kick, ban, lobby control, and more.
Icarus uses a password-based admin system — there is no admin list file. Any player who knows the admin password can authenticate in-game for that session.
Set the Admin Password
Stop the server
In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and stop the server.
Edit ServerSettings.ini
Click Files in the sidebar and open Icarus/Saved/Config/ServerSettings.ini. Set:
[/script/icarus.dedicatedserversettings]
AdminPassword=YourStrongPasswordIf
AdminPasswordis left empty, running/AdminLoginwith no argument grants admin to anyone. Set a password on any public server.
Save and start
Click Save Content and start from Console.
Authenticate In-Game
Once connected to the server, type in the in-game chat:
/AdminLogin YourStrongPasswordYou gain admin privileges for that session. You must re-authenticate each time you reconnect.
