# How to Add Admins on Your RuneScape: Dragonwilds Server (/docs/runescape-dragonwilds/admin-setup)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Dragonwilds uses a **password-based admin system**. Any player who enters the Admin Password gets access to the Server Management screen. The server **Owner** (matching `OwnerID` in config) has additional privileges.
