How To Add Admins to Your Squad Server

Squad uses an Admins.cfg file to manage admin permissions. Here is how to add admins to your server.

Find the Player's Steam64 ID

You need the player's Steam64 ID. You can find this by going to SteamID.io and searching for their Steam profile.

Open Files

Navigate to the Config Directory

Navigate to SquadGame/ServerConfig/.

Open Admins.cfg

Open the Admins.cfg file. If it does not exist, create it.

Add Admin Groups and Entries

The file uses groups to define permission levels. Add your admin entries:

Group=SuperAdmin:changemap,pause,cheat,private,balance,chat,kick,ban,config,cameraman,immune,manageserver,featuretest,reserve,demos,debug,teamchange,forceteamchange,canseeadminchat
Group=Admin:changemap,balance,chat,kick,ban,reserve,demos,teamchange,forceteamchange,canseeadminchat
Group=Moderator:chat,kick,ban,reserve,canseeadminchat

Admin=76561198000000001:SuperAdmin // Owner
Admin=76561198000000002:Admin // Trusted Admin
Admin=76561198000000003:Moderator // Moderator

Save and Restart

Save the file and restart your server from the Console page.
