# How to make yourself an Admin on your Squad Server

# How to make yourself Admin on your New Squad Server.

1. Head to the File Manager in your Game Panel and navigate to `/SquadGame/ServerConfig/Admins.cfg`

2. Open the file and at the top of the file it lists all of the permissions that you can assign to a single user. You will need to make a group. The format for doing so is:

```
Group=<Group Name>:<Permission 1>,<Permission 2>,<Permission 3>
```

Example with information filled in:

```
Group=Mod:cheat,chat,kick,ban,cameraman,immune,reserve
```

3. Admin privileges are given in the same file by adding the following in the same place:

|| Note: To add yourself as an admin, you need your Steam64ID. If you don't know your Steam64ID, you can find it by using [Steam.io](https://steamid.io/) or other similar services. Once you have your Steam64ID, add it to the admin section following the existing format e.g.,


```
Admin=<Steam ID #>:<Group Name>.
```

Example with information filled in:

```
Admin=12345678901234567:Mod
```

4. Once you have followed these steps press "Save Content" button in the bottom right and restart your server.
