Go to Steam ID Finder.
Enter the player's Steam Profile link and click on the Search button.
After clicking the button, you will now be able to see a bunch of different types of IDs and other details; however, for this guide, we will only need the user's "steamID64 (Dec)".
To add yourself as an owner to your Unturned server:

After entering the ID, the Apollo panel will automatically save it. Afterward, you can restart the server, and the player will be granted administrative permissions.
