How to Add an Admin to Your Squad Server

In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through assigning admin permissions on your Squad dedicated game server powered by Imperium Hosting. Admins can kick/ban players, change maps, use spectator mode, and more—based on their assigned permission group.


Step-by-Step Instructions

Adding Admins to Your Squad Server

  1. Log in to your Imperium Hosting control panel.

  2. Navigate to "Game Services" under the "Service Management" section in the toolbar.

  3. Select your Squad server and stop it if it’s currently running.

  4. Click on "Configuration Files."

  5. Locate the Admins.cfg file and click "Text Editor."

  6. Add your desired admin using the following format:

Admin=<Steam64ID>:<AdminGroup>

You’ll need the user’s Steam64 ID. You can find this by searching their profile at steamid.io.

  1. Click "Save & Exit."

  2. Start your server to apply the changes.


Configuring Admin Groups

Admin groups define what permissions admins have. You can add, edit, or create new admin groups with custom permission sets.

  1. Return to "Configuration Files" and open the Admins.cfg file.

  2. Locate or create a group using the format:

Group=<GroupName>:<Permission1>,<Permission2>,<Permission3>
  1. Example:
    To create a Moderator group with basic tools:

Group=Moderator:chat,kick,ban
  1. To remove a permission, simply remove it from the list. To add a new group, start a new line.

  2. Once finished, Save & Exit and start your server.
