How to Become an Admin Squad
Note: You need the SteamID64 of the players you want to make admins.
You can obtain your SteamID64 for example here: https://steamid.io
First, you need to open the settings of your server.
To do this, click on the name of your server or the gray gear.
Basic Mode
In Basic Mode, click on Admin Settings on the left.
Then enter the desired SteamID64 under Admin 1
, Admin 2
, … .
Click on Save and then restart the server.
Advanced Mode
In Advanced Mode, click on Admins.cfg on the left.
In the text editor on the right, find the line Admin=:Admin
.
Then enter the SteamID64 using the following format:Admin=SteamID64:Admingroup
The entry would look like this, for example: Admin=7656xxxxxxxxxx:Admin
or like this: Admin=7656xxxxxxxxxx:Moderator
Create a new line for each admin you want to add!.
Creating Custom Admin Groups
In Squad, you can also create your own admin groups in Admins.cfg.
These groups are created using the following format:Group=GroupName:Right1,Right2,Right3
As an example, let’s create the group Superadmin:
Group=Superadmin:kick,ban,changemap,startvote,pause,cheat,private,chat
To assign a player to this group, the corresponding entry looks like this:
Admin=7656xxxxxxxxxx:Superadmin
