How to Add Admins & Use Commands on Your Rust Server

How to grant owner/moderator access and use all admin commands on your Rust dedicated server.

Auth Levels

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

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

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

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

Players must reconnect after auth changes.
