Any Factorio account username listed in that file has full administrative control, including access to the cheat console. Add only trusted players.\n\nBefore editing, make sure you know each player's Factorio username, which is the account name they use to authenticate with the Factorio multiplayer service (not their in-game display name).\n\n## Add admins via the game panel\n\n1. Log in to the [Game Control Panel](https:\u002F\u002Fgamepanel.hosthavoc.com\u002F) and navigate to your Factorio server.\n2. **Stop** your server.\n3. Click **Configuration Files**, locate `server-adminlist.json`, and click the **Text Editor** button.\n4. Edit the file to include each admin's Factorio username as a string in a JSON array:\n\n   ```json\n   [\n     \"YourFactorioUsername\",\n     \"AnotherAdmin\"\n   ]\n   ```\n\n   The file must be a valid JSON array of strings. Do not add trailing commas after the last entry.\n\n5. Click **Save** and start your server.\n\n## Verify admin status in-game\n\nOnce you have joined the server, open the in-game console with the `~` key (tilde) and run:\n\n```\n\u002Fadmins\n```\n\nYou should see your username listed. If you are not listed, confirm the server restarted after saving the file.\n\n## Admin commands reference\n\n| Command | Effect |\n|---|---|\n| `\u002Fadmins` | List current admins |\n| `\u002Fpromote PlayerName` | Grant admin (also writes to `server-adminlist.json`) |\n| `\u002Fdemote PlayerName` | Revoke admin |\n| `\u002Fkick PlayerName [reason]` | Kick a player |\n| `\u002Fban PlayerName [reason]` | Ban a player |\n| `\u002Funban PlayerName` | Unban a player |\n| `\u002Fwhitelist add PlayerName` | Add to whitelist (when whitelist is enabled) |\n| `\u002Fplayers` | List online players |\n| `\u002Fseed` | Display the current map seed |\n| `\u002Fversion` | Show the server version |\n| `\u002Fsave SAVENAME` | Save under the given name |\n| `\u002Fserver-save` | Quick-save the current game |\n\nThe cheat console (`\u002Fc \u003Clua>`) lets you run arbitrary Lua commands. Using cheats disables achievements for that save.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n- **Admin not recognized after joining:** Ensure the server was fully stopped before saving `server-adminlist.json`, then restarted after the save.\n- **JSON parse error on startup:** Validate your `server-adminlist.json` is a plain array of strings with no trailing commas. Each username must be quoted.\n- **Player promoted in-game not persisting:** Using `\u002Fpromote` in-game also updates `server-adminlist.json` automatically.
