How to Add Admins to your Server

To add admins to your Core Keeper dedicated server, you will need to modify the properĀ config file to include the SteamID of the players you want to grant administrator privileges. Hereā€™s a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

Locate the Configuration File

The file youā€™ll want to locate is called Admins.json. This file is situated where the serverā€™s DataPath is set to. At Nodecraft, you can find this file in the Server Files tab, within the /Dedicated Server folder.

You will need to add the Steam64IDs of admins here. When you open the file, you will see a structure like this:Ā

Copy/Paste the following code and place it between the square brackets.

{
"index": 1,
"privileges": 1,
"name": "CharacterName",
"steamId": STEAM64ID
}

Replace CharacterName and STEAM64ID with each playerā€™s character name and their corresponding Steam64ID. It should look like the following:

If you have more than one player you wish to grant admin privileges to, youā€™ll want to separate each section with a comma, like so:

Save Your Edits and Restart

After making your edits, make sure to click the Save Changes button.

For the changes to take effect, you will need to restart your Core Keeper server.

Once the server is running again, admins can grant admin access in-game via the Pause menu.
