Granting admin permissions lets a trusted player help manage your Aloft server. Admins are set using Steam64 IDs, so this guide will show you how to find one and add it to your server.
Step 1: Find the Steam64 ID
Before you can add someone as an admin, you'll need their Steam64 ID — a long string of numbers unique to their Steam account.
💡 Pro Tip:
You can easily find a Steam64 ID by copying the player's Steam profile link and pasting it into any online Steam ID Lookup tool. It will usually start with the numbers 7656...
Step 2: Add the ID on Your Panel
- Log into your MintServers panel and go to your Aloft server's configuration page.
- Find the
Admin IDsfield. - Enter the Steam64 ID you found in Step 1. To add multiple admins, separate each Steam64 ID with a space.
- Save your changes.
- Restart your server for the change to take effect.
