SCUM admin commands: how to become admin on your server

In SCUM, you become admin by adding your SteamID64 to the server's AdminUsers.ini file. There is no admin password. You then type SCUM admin commands in the in-game chat, with a # prefix. This guide shows how to find your SteamID64, add yourself as admin in OuiPanel and use the console commands published by Gamepires. It assumes you already ordered a server from our SCUM server hosting plans.

The server must have started at least once, otherwise its settings files do not exist yet. The guide SCUM server settings: set up your server with ServerSettings.ini covers that first start.

Find your SteamID64

The SteamID64 is the ID of your Steam account. It is a 17-digit number that starts with 7656119. Your username does not work in its place.

1. In Steam, click your username at the top right, then Account details.

2. Your SteamID64 appears under the account name, after "Steam ID". Copy it.

If your Steam profile address starts with steamcommunity.com/profiles/, the number after it is also your SteamID64. Each admin must give you theirs.

Become admin with AdminUsers.ini

A SteamID64 listed in AdminUsers.ini gets access to the admin commands. SCUM creates this file empty on the first start and reads it again at every start.

1. In the Console, stop the server with Stop.

2. In the side menu, click File Manager, then open the SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer folder.

3. Click AdminUsers.ini. The "Editing AdminUsers.ini" window opens.

4. Add your SteamID64 on its own line. Put one admin per line.

5. Click Save, then start the server from the Console.

This SteamID64 comes from the Gamepires example. Replace it with yours.

You can also edit these files from your computer over SFTP. The guide How to connect via SFTP with FileZilla explains how to connect.

Grant the instant building right

A single right goes between brackets, right after the SteamID64. It grants the #SetGodMode True or False command, which turns instant building on or off.

According to the Gamepires patch notes, an admin shuts the server down with the #ShutdownServer command.

Open the Server Settings menu in game

The in-game "Server Settings" menu changes the server settings without touching the files. It is reserved for the SteamID64s listed in ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini.

1. Stop the server, then open ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini in the same WindowsServer folder.

2. Add your SteamID64 on its own line, then click Save.

3. Start the server and join it. The "Server Settings" menu is now available.

The two files are independent. To get both the commands and the menu, add your SteamID64 to AdminUsers.ini and to ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini.

Control who can join

Four other files in the WindowsServer folder filter players. They also take one SteamID64 per line.

File	Effect
BannedUsers.ini	Banned players. A player banned in game is added here, and you can also add a SteamID64 by hand
WhitelistedUsers.ini	Priority players. If the server is full, another player is kicked to make room for them
ExclusiveUsers.ini	Closed list. Only the players listed can join
SilencedUsers.ini	Silenced players, with the length of their penalty

ExclusiveUsers.ini takes effect as soon as the first SteamID64 is listed. Add yours and those of all your players at the same time, or they will be locked out.

---

Type an admin command

1. Join your server with the Steam account listed as admin.

2. Open the in-game chat.

3. Type the command with the # prefix, then press Enter.

Commands that delete or reset data end with the word please. It is part of the command, so type it.

The OuiPanel Console shows the server log. It is not used to type game commands.
