# How to Set Up Admins on Your Unturned Server (/docs/unturned/admin-setup)



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

Unturned has two admin levels: **Owner** (set in Commands.dat, full permissions) and **Admin** (added to Adminlist.dat, most permissions).

Setting the Server Owner [#setting-the-server-owner]

The owner is set in `Commands.dat` and has the highest permission level:

```
Owner 76561198012345678
```

The owner cannot be removed or demoted in-game.
