How To Add Admins to Your SCP: Secret Laboratory Server
Learn how to grant Remote Admin permissions on your SCP: Secret Laboratory dedicated server.
SCP: Secret Laboratory uses a Remote Admin (RA) system to manage server administration. Admins are configured through the config_remoteadmin.txt file using Steam IDs and permission roles.
Open the XGamingServer Panel
Log in to the XGamingServer Panel.
Stop Your Server
Make sure your server is stopped before making changes.
Get the Player's Steam ID
You need the Steam64 ID of the player you want to make an admin. Players can find their Steam64 ID at steamid.io.
Open Files
In the sidebar, click Files.
Locate the Remote Admin Configuration
Navigate to the configuration directory and open config_remoteadmin.txt. This file controls admin permissions, roles, and access levels.
Add the Admin
In the config_remoteadmin.txt file, find the Members section and add the player's Steam64 ID with their role:
Members:
- SteamID@steam: owner
- AnotherSteamID@steam: adminConfigure Roles (Optional)
The file also contains role definitions that control what permissions each role has. Default roles include:
- owner - Full access to all commands and settings
- admin - Access to most admin commands
- moderator - Limited admin access for moderation tasks
You can customize these roles or create new ones by modifying the role definitions in the file.
Save and Start Your Server
Click Save and then Start your server.
Using Remote Admin In-Game
Once configured as an admin, players can access the Remote Admin panel in-game:
Open Remote Admin
Press the M key while in-game to open the Remote Admin panel.
Use Admin Commands
The Remote Admin panel provides a GUI for managing the server, including kicking and banning players, changing game settings, and managing the round.
💡 Tip: Be careful with admin permissions. Only grant owner and admin roles to trusted players. Use the moderator role for helpers who only need moderation capabilities.
📝 Note: The Remote Admin password is separate from the server password. It is configured in
config_remoteadmin.txtand is required for remote console access.
