Server admins can use in-game commands to manage maps, kick or ban troublemakers, and keep your MORDHAU server running smoothly. There are two ways to grant admin access: adding specific players permanently by their PlayfabID, or setting a shared Admin Password anyone can log in with.
Step 1: Finding A PlayfabID
To add someone as a permanent admin, you need their PlayfabID rather than their Steam ID. The easiest way to get it:
- Have the player join your server.
- Open the in-game console with the tilde key (
~). - Type
playerlistand press Enter. This lists every connected player along with their slot number and PlayfabID. - Alternatively, type
copyidto copy a specific player's PlayfabID straight to your clipboard.
Step 2: Adding Permanent Admins
- Log into your MintServers panel and click Stop to safely shut down your server.
- Navigate to the Files tab and open
Game.ini. - Under the
[/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession]heading, add oneAdmins=line per PlayfabID:
- Save the file and Start your server. Anyone on this list is automatically recognized as an admin whenever they join, no login required.
Alternative: Using An Admin Password
Instead of (or alongside) a permanent list, you can set a shared Admin Password. Anyone who knows it can log in as an admin from any account.
After saving and restarting, anyone can type AdminLogin YourAdminPasswordHere in the in-game console to log in as an admin.
Managing Admins In-Game
Once you're logged in as an admin yourself, these console commands let you manage the admin list without editing Game.ini again:

Be selective about who you make an admin. Since admins can add other admins, one bad choice can spiral quickly.
