# Manage Your Server from the Panel (Fika Admin) (/docs/stay-in-tarkov/manage-your-server)





import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Every Stay in Tarkov (SPT/Fika) server on XGamingServer has a built-in **Fika Admin** tab in the panel. It's a live control panel for your server — hand out items and currency, message or kick players, schedule item drops, ban flea-market abusers, back up player profiles, and manage headless clients — without editing files or using SSH.

> 📝 **Note:** The Fika Admin tab talks to your server's built-in Fika API. It appears automatically once your server has **started at least once** (Fika generates its API key on first boot). If the tab shows **"No API key yet,"** start the server once and reload the page.

Opening the Fika Admin Tab [#opening-the-fika-admin-tab]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open your server [#open-your-server]

    Log in to the [XGamingServer panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com) and select your Stay in Tarkov server.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click "Fika Admin" [#click-fika-admin]

    Select the **Fika Admin** tab in the server's sidebar. A green status dot means the server is online and connected.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Statistics [#statistics]

The top card shows a live snapshot of your server:

| Stat          | Meaning                                        |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Profiles**  | Total player profiles that exist on the server |
| **Online**    | Players currently connected                    |
| **Headless**  | Headless clients currently connected           |
| **Raids**     | Active raids in progress                       |
| **Scheduled** | Item sends queued to deliver later             |

Sending Items & Currency [#sending-items--currency]

Use the **Send Item** card to mail items straight into a player's in-game inbox.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Pick an item [#pick-an-item]

    Type in the search box to find any item — modded items included. Or use the **Quick currency** buttons to instantly select **Roubles**, **Dollars**, or **Euros**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Choose who gets it [#choose-who-gets-it]

    Select a specific online player, or **Everyone** to send to every profile on the server.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Set the amount and options [#set-the-amount-and-options]

    Enter the amount, tick **Found in Raid** if the item should count as FiR, and optionally add a short mail message.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Send now — or schedule it [#send-now--or-schedule-it]

    Click **Send** to deliver immediately, or set a date/time in **Schedule for later** and click **Schedule**. Scheduled sends deliver automatically at that time — perfect for event drops.
  </Step>
</Steps>

> 💡 **Tip:** Items and currency land in the player's **in-game mailbox**. They'll see them the next time they open the game and check their messages.

Scheduled Sends [#scheduled-sends]

Any send you schedule appears in the **Scheduled Sends** list with its delivery time. You can remove a scheduled send before it fires. The server delivers due sends automatically — you don't need to be online.

Broadcasting a Message [#broadcasting-a-message]

The **Broadcast Message** card sends an in-game mail message to **every** profile on the server at once — handy for announcing events, maintenance, or wipes.

Managing Players [#managing-players]

The **Online Players** card lists everyone currently connected. For each player you can:

* **Message** — send a private in-game mail message.
* **Flea ban** — block a player from the flea market. Enter a number of **days**, or **0** for a permanent ban.
* **Log out / kick** — disconnect the player from the server.

The **Active Raids** card shows who is hosting each raid and how many players are in it.

Backing Up & Restoring Profiles [#backing-up--restoring-profiles]

The **Profile Backup** card lets you save and restore player saves without digging through files.

* **Download** — enter a profile ID (or click an online player to fill it in) and download that profile as a JSON file. Keep these as backups.
* **Upload** — paste a saved profile's JSON to overwrite an existing profile, then **restart the server** so the change is loaded.

> ⚠️ **Warning:** Uploading a profile **overwrites** the current one. Always **download a backup first**. For deeper, field-by-field profile editing, see [Manage Profiles](/docs/stay-in-tarkov/manage-profiles).

Headless Clients [#headless-clients]

A **headless client** is a second copy of the EFT game client that a player runs on their **own machine** to host raids without a character in them. It runs on the player's PC — not on the game server, which only provides the profile and backend.

From the **Headless Clients** card you can:

* **New profile** — generate a headless profile on the server; its ID is shown so you can plug it into a headless SPT client.
* **Restart** — restart a connected headless client that's misbehaving.
