Adding and removing admins on a Rust server can help maintain a safe and enjoyable gameplay experience for all players. Admins can monitor and enforce the server's rules, respond to player complaints, and prevent or stop disruptive behavior. On the other hand, removing admins who abuse their power or fail to fulfill their responsibilities is equally essential to ensure a fair and safe gameplay experience.
Note: There are two different admin roles. OwnerID allows adding and deleting admins, while ModeratorID does not.
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.
2. Stop the server.
3. Select the Config Files tab and choose Users Config.
4. Input one of the following in a new line to add an owner or moderator:
ownerid <SteamID64> "optional_user_name" "optional_reason"
moderatorid <SteamID64> "optional_name" "optional_reason"
Note: Learn how to find the SteamID64 here.
5. Press the Save button.
6. Start the server.
