Auth Levels [#auth-levels]

| Level | Role      | Access                                             |
| :---: | --------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
|   2   | Owner     | Full control — all commands, server settings       |
|   1   | Moderator | Most admin commands, cannot change server settings |

Adding Admins [#adding-admins]

Via Console [#via-console]

```
ownerid 76561198012345678 "PlayerName" "reason"
moderatorid 76561198087654321 "ModName" "reason"
writecfg
```

Via users.cfg [#via-userscfg]

In `server/[identity]/cfg/users.cfg`:

```
ownerid 76561198012345678 "AdminName" ""
moderatorid 76561198087654321 "ModName" ""
```

Players must reconnect after auth changes.
