How to Add Admins on Your The Isle Evrima Server

Grant admin access on your The Isle Evrima dedicated server using AdminsSteamIDs in Game.ini, plus VIP queue bypass setup.

The Isle Evrima admins are managed via AdminsSteamIDs in Game.ini. Listed players are recognized as admins and can use RCON commands to manage the server.

Important: Evrima has no in-game admin console like Legacy did. All admin actions are performed through RCON. See RCON Setup.

Add an Admin

Find the player's SteamID64

Look up the player's Steam profile at steamid.io and copy their SteamID64 — a 17-digit number starting with 7656.

Stop the server

In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and stop the server.

Open Game.ini

Click Files in the sidebar and navigate to:

TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini

Add the admin entry

Under [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase], add one line per admin:

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198012345678
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198087654321

Save and start

Click Save Content and start the server from Console.

Use Admin Privileges

Once added as admin, the player can connect to the server's RCON and run admin commands. Evrima has no in-game admin console — all admin actions go through RCON.

See:

RCON Setup — connect with a community RCON client
Admin Commands — full command reference

VIPs (Queue Bypass)

VIPs can bypass the join queue when the server is full but don't get admin powers.

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
VIPs=76561198099999999
VIPs=76561198088888888

Use VIPs for donors or trusted regulars who should always be able to join even on packed servers.

Common Issues

Problem	Fix
Admin can't run RCON commands	Verify SteamID64 is correct (17 digits) and `bRconEnabled=true` is set
Steam ID looks wrong	Use steamid.io to convert from profile URL — copy `steamID64`, not `steamID3`
Server overwrote my edits	Always stop the server before editing — Evrima rewrites configs on shutdown
