How to Add Admins to Your Vintage Story Server

Updated June 10, 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Granting admin access on your Vintage Story server takes only a single console command. The steps below use the Web Console built into the Host Havoc game control panel.

Add an admin via the Web Console

  1. Log into the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Click the Web Console icon in the left sidebar.
  3. Type the following command and press Enter, replacing playername with the player's exact in-game name:
/op playername

The player is now an admin on the server.

Before you start: The server must be running for console commands to be accepted.

Admin commands reference

A full list of server commands is available on the official Vintage Story wiki. You can also disable the whitelist or add mods to extend your server further.

Troubleshooting

  • If the command returns no response, confirm the server is fully started before sending it.
  • Player names are case-sensitive. Use the exact in-game name.
