Squad How to make yourself Admin

  1. Access the server files: Connect to your server's file system through FTP (File Transfer Protocol) OR the file manager on your panel.

  1. Locate the server configuration file: Go to the directory
    -> SquadGame
    ->ServerConfig
    ->Admins.cfg

  2. Open the configuration file: Using our inbuilt text editor OR you can use one of your own.

  3. Groups: At the top of the file, it lists all of the permissions that you can assign to a user. In the section right beneath it you need to make a group. The format for doing so is,

         Group=<Group Name>:<Permission 1>,<Permission 2>,<Permission 3>

    For Example, 

        Group = CooperA : cheat, chat, kick, ban, cameraman, immune, reserve

    ​

Admin Privileges:​

It is very easy to then give yourself admin, simply use the format provided in the file already

Admin=<Steam ID #>:<Group Name>.

To add yourself as an admin, you need your Steam64ID. If you don't know your Steam64ID, you can find it by using https://steamid.io or other similar services. Once you have your Steam64ID, add it to the admin section following the existing format e.g.,

 Admin= 12345678901234567 : CooperA
  1. Once you have followed the steps above save the changes you have made using the “save content” button at the bottom of the page.
  1. Restart the server: Head back to the control panel and restart your Squad server to apply the changes.

Once the server restarts, you should have admin privileges and access to the admin commands in-game.
