How To Add Admins In Empyrion

Admins can spawn items, teleport, manage players and control the server from the in-game console. Empyrion has three permission levels you can hand out, and the most reliable way to set them is by adding a player's Steam64 ID to your admin file. This guide will get you and your friends set up.

Step 1: Find The Steam64 ID

You will need the Steam64 ID of every player you want to promote. It is a 17-digit number that usually starts with 7656.

Step 2: Add Admins To adminconfig.yaml

1. Log into your MintServers panel and click the Stop button.
2. Click on the Files tab in the left-hand sidebar.
3. Open the Saves folder and click on adminconfig.yaml to open the text editor:
   📁 server (your server's root directory)

   📁 Saves

   📄 adminconfig.yaml (Click to edit this file)
4. Replace the example entries under Elevated with your players, using this exact format:

Elevated:
- Id: 76561198000000001
  Permission: 9
- Id: 76561198000000002
  Permission: 6
- Id: 76561198000000003
  Permission: 3

The Permission number decides what each player can do:

• 9 - Admin: Full control of the server.
• 6 - Moderator: Player management.
• 3 - GameMaster: Spawning, teleporting and other game master commands.

5. Save the file, go back to the Console tab and click Start.

Step 3: Test Your Admin Access

1. Join your server. See our Join Server guide for Empyrion if you need help.
2. Press the ~ (tilde) key to open the in-game console.
3. Type help and press Enter. If you see a list of commands, you are an admin!

Alternative: Setting Admins From The Console

You can also set roles from the console without editing any files. If your server has no admin yet, join it, open the console with the ~ key and type:

initadmin

This makes you the first admin, and it only works while the server has no admin. Once you are an admin, you can promote other players with:

setrole PlayerName Admin

If either command does not work on your server, use the adminconfig.yaml method above instead.

Useful Admin Commands

The list of commands available to you depends on your permission level. Type help in the console to see all of them. A few handy ones:

• help - Lists the commands available to you.
• gm - Toggles godmode (invulnerable and free flight).
• di - Toggles the debug info overlay, which shows the ID of whatever you are looking at.

Your admins are ready to go! If you run into any trouble getting the file formatted correctly, no worries! Just open a support ticket and our team will gladly jump in and get it sorted out together.
