7. Understanding the Admin Configuration

Config Element	Syntax Format	What It Controls	Impact / Behavior
Group Definition	Group=<GroupName>:<Permissions>	Sets up a permission tier with specific privileges.	Allows you to create distinct roles (e.g., Owner, Mod, SuperAdmin) without re-listing permissions for each player.
Admin Assignment	Admin=<Steam64ID>:<GroupName>	Assigns a player’s Steam ID to a defined group.	Grants the specified in-game permissions and admin console access to that user.
Inline Comments	// Comment text	Adding notes, usernames, or role labels.	Helps keep the config file organized; ignored by the server parser.

8. Save the Changes
