Become the Boss: Admin Rights on Your Rust Server

Elevate your Rust gaming experience by granting yourself admin privileges with these straightforward steps:

Get Ready

Your adventure starts at our game panel. Before anything, snag your Steam64ID—a unique number like 76497397121723. Find yours at https://steamid.io/.

Option 1: Command Your Way In

1. Dive into the Server Console through your game panel.
2. Command the Console: Type ownerid yourSteam64ID (swap yourSteam64ID with your actual Steam ID) and press enter. You'll get a thumbs-up from the console if it's all set.
3. Lock It Down: Enter server.writecfg and hit enter. If you're in-game, take a quick exit and re-enter to see the changes.

Option 2: File Manager Magic

1. Pause Your Server: Ensure it's stopped, then hit the 'File Manager' button.
2. Find the 'users.cfg' File: It's hiding in the server/rust/cfg folder.
3. Edit with Care: Add a new line ownerid yourSteam64ID (again, replace yourSteam64ID with the real deal).
4. Save Your Realm: Hit save and you're golden.

Admin Army? If you're gathering a crew of admins, just list each Steam64ID on its own line. Like so:

ownerid 76497397121723
ownerid 76497397121724

Now, command your server with the might of an admin!
