Admin Permissions

Introduction

This guide explains how to assign admin permissions to players on your Vintage Story server. Admins have access to moderation commands for managing the server.

What Admins Can Do

Admins in Vintage Story have permission to use various commands that help with server moderation, including:

Kicking and banning players
Changing game modes
Teleporting players
Using cheat commands
Managing server settings

Assigning Admin Permissions

You can grant admin permissions using the op command through your server's console.

Access your control panel and navigate to your Vintage Story server.
Start your server if it's not already running.
Go to the Console section in your control panel.
Enter the command: /op <username>
- Replace <username> with the exact username of the player you want to make an admin.
Press Enter to execute the command.

The player will now have admin permissions the next time they join the server.

Removing Admin Permissions

To remove admin permissions from a player:

Go to the Console in your control panel.
Enter the command: /player <username> role suplayer
- Replace <username> with the player's exact username.

This command changes the player's role to "suplayer" (super player), which removes their admin privileges. The player will lose admin permissions on their next login.

Using Admin Commands In-Game

Once a player has admin permissions, they can use commands directly in the game chat by typing them with a / prefix.

For a full list of available admin commands, refer to the Vintage Story Wiki.

Best Practices

Grant admin sparingly: Only give admin permissions to trusted players.
Monitor usage: Keep an eye on server logs for admin command usage.
Regular reviews: Periodically review who has admin access and remove it if needed.
