How to Add an Admin to Your Rust Server
Granting a player Admin access on your Rust server allows the player to execute all Rust admin commands in-game. This can be used to ban, mute, kick players, and more.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Admin Roles in Rust
There are two main roles you can assign to players on your Rust server:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| ownerid | This grants access to all admin commands, and can add/remove other admins. |
| moderatorid | This grants access to all admin commands, but cannot add/remove other admins. |
Step 2: Access Your RCON Client
First, navigate to your RCON client. If you need one, EUGameHost provides some tools here.
Step 3: Add a Player as Admin or Moderator
Once inside your RCON client, type the following command:
(ROLE) (STEAM64ID) (REASON/NAME)
Replace:
- (ROLE) with
owneridormoderatorid, depending on the rank you want to assign. - (STEAM64ID) with the player's 64-bit Steam ID.
- (REASON/NAME) with the player's username or the reason for their assignment.
Step 4: Confirm the Admin Assignment
Once you press Enter, you'll receive a message confirming the success or failure of adding the player as an admin.
Step 5: Save the Configuration
After successfully adding the player, save the configuration by executing the following command:
writecfg
Conclusion
Following these steps will allow you to assign admin or moderator roles to players on your Rust server, enabling them to manage in-game activities effectively.
