How to Make Yourself an Admin on Your Unturned Server

Granting yourself admin access lets you run server commands, manage players, and control gameplay settings. You can set this up through the vanilla Commands.dat file or, if you have RocketMod installed, through Permissions.config.xml.

Before you start: You need your Steam64 ID. Find it at steamid.io/lookup.

Set yourself as admin (vanilla)

1. Log in to your Host Havoc game panel.
2. Click Configuration Files.
3. To the right of Commands.dat, click Configuration Editor.
4. In the Owner GUID field, enter your Steam64 ID.
5. Enable Cheats.
6. Click Save.

Set yourself as admin with RocketMod

If you have RocketMod installed, follow these steps instead:

1. Log in to your Host Havoc game panel.
2. Click Configuration Files.
3. To the right of Permissions.config.xml, click Text Editor.
4. Add a group block like the one below. Not all listed permissions are required; include only the ones your role needs.

   <Group>
     <Id>Admin</Id>
     <DisplayName>Admin</DisplayName>
     <Color>13DB0C</Color>
     <Members>
       <Member>7656XXXXXXXXXXXXX</Member>
     </Members>
     <ParentGroup>default</ParentGroup>
     <Permissions>
       <Permission>wreck</Permission>
       <Permission>w</Permission>
       <Permission>listvehicles</Permission>
       <Permission>Admin</Permission>
       <Permission>Admins</Permission>
       <Permission>Decay</Permission>
       <Permission>Give</Permission>
       <Permission>Mode</Permission>
       <Permission>Day</Permission>
       <Permission>Night</Permission>
       <Permission>Save</Permission>
       <Permission>Time</Permission>
       <Permission>Unadmin</Permission>
       <Permission>Bans</Permission>
       <Permission>callvote.day</Permission>
       <Permission>p2p.noblock</Permission>
       <Permission>investigate</Permission>
     </Permissions>
   </Group>
   

5. Replace 7656XXXXXXXXXXXXX on the <Member> line with your own Steam64 ID.
6. Click Save.

Once saved, restart the server and join to confirm your permissions are active. To run admin commands in-game, see How to Use Admin Commands in Unturned.
