How To Add Admins to Your RedM Server

Learn how to grant admin permissions on your RedM dedicated server using ace permissions.

RedM uses the same ace permission system as FiveM to manage admin access. Admins are configured through the server.cfg file using ace permissions and principal assignments.

Open the XGamingServer Panel

Stop Your Server

Make sure your server is stopped before making changes.

Get the Player's Identifier

You need the player's identifier to grant them permissions. RedM supports several identifier types:

Steam - steam:hexid (most common)
Discord - discord:userid
License - license:hexid

Players can find their Steam hex ID using tools like steamid.io and converting their Steam64 ID to hexadecimal.

Open server.cfg

In the sidebar, click Files and open server.cfg in the editor.

Add Admin Permissions

Add the following lines to your server.cfg, replacing the identifier with the player's actual ID:

# Add admin group
add_ace group.admin command allow
add_ace group.admin command.quit deny

# Add a player to the admin group
add_principal identifier.steam:110000xxxxxxxxx group.admin

You can add multiple admins by adding additional add_principal lines:

add_principal identifier.steam:110000xxxxxxxxx group.admin
add_principal identifier.steam:110000yyyyyyyyy group.admin

Save and Start Your Server

Click Save and then Start your server.

Creating Custom Permission Groups

You can create custom permission groups with specific permissions for moderators or other roles:

# Moderator group with limited commands
add_ace group.moderator command.kick allow
add_ace group.moderator command.ban allow

# Add a player to the moderator group
add_principal identifier.steam:110000xxxxxxxxx group.moderator

💡 Tip: The ace permission system is very flexible. You can create as many groups as you need and assign specific command permissions to each one. See the server configuration guide for more details.
