How To Add Admins To Your SCUM Server

Managing player permissions and granting administrative privileges is essential for maintaining a healthy gaming environment. Your SCUM server uses two separate files to handle different types of admin permissions.

Server Settings Admin Access

Section titled “Server Settings Admin Access”

ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini allows you to access the in-game Server Settings menu to configure your server.

  1. Access the Game Host Bros Panel and Stop your SCUM server.
  2. In the sidebar click on Management > File Manager.
  3. Navigate to /SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/.
  4. Here, find the file named ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini.
  5. Add a new entry on its own line in SteamID64 format. It should look like this:
    ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini
    76561198072786081
  6. Start your server.

General Admin Commands

Section titled “General Admin Commands”

AdminUsers.ini allows you to use in-game admin commands for general server management.

  1. Access the Game Host Bros Panel and Stop your SCUM server.
  2. In the sidebar click on Management > File Manager.
  3. Navigate to /SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/.
