How to Set Up Admins & Use Commands on Your SCUM Server
Grant admin access via Admins.txt, use all SCUM admin chat commands, access the in-game admin panel, and set up RCON for remote administration.
SCUM admins can teleport, spawn items/vehicles, kick/ban players, control weather and time, and access a full in-game admin panel with a searchable GUI.
Setting Up Admins
Find the player's Steam ID
You need their SteamID64 (17-digit number). Look it up at steamid.io using their Steam profile URL.
Edit Admins.txt
In the XGamingServer Panel, click Files in the sidebar. Open (or create) Admins.txt in the server root. Add one SteamID64 per line:
76561198012345678
76561198087654321Restart the server
Restart from Console to apply. The listed players will have admin privileges on next join.
You can also grant admin in-game using
#SetAdmin <SteamID>if you're already an admin.
Admin Commands
All SCUM admin commands use the # prefix in the in-game chat. Press Enter to open chat, type the command, and press Enter again.

In-Game Admin Panel
SCUM has a built-in graphical admin panel that's more powerful than chat commands:
- Searchable item database — find and spawn any item without knowing IDs
- Vehicle spawner — browse and spawn vehicles with a point-and-click interface
- Player list — see all players with options to kick, ban, teleport, or spectate
- Weather controls — change weather with a dropdown
- Teleport menu — teleport to map locations or coordinates
The admin panel is toggled via a keybind (check your key bindings under Settings). You must be listed in Admins.txt and connected to the server.
RCON (Remote Console)
RCON lets you run admin commands without being in-game, using tools like BattleCon, mcrcon, or ARRCON.
Restart the server
Restart from Console to apply.
Connect with an RCON client
Use any Source RCON-compatible client:
- Address: Your server IP
- Port: 9515 (or whatever you set)
- Password: Your RCON password
Commands through RCON use the same # prefix syntax as in-game chat.
