How To Add an Admin to Your Space Engineers Server

Important!

Restart your server after saving the changes, otherwise the new admin permissions will not apply.

1. Obtain the Player’s SteamID

Before making changes to the server configuration, you will need the 64-bit SteamID of the player you wish to make an admin. You can easily find this by entering the player’s Steam profile link into a public SteamID lookup tool. Keep this number copied and ready for the next steps.

2. Log In to Your Panel

3. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

4. Select the ‘config’ Folder

---

5. Select the ‘SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg‘ File

---

6. Add the SteamID to the Admin Group

Scroll down the file until you spot the <Administrators /> tag. Since your server does not have any admins yet, this line is closed off by default.

To add your first admin, you will need to open this section up. Delete the single <Administrators /> line entirely.

Replace it by typing <Administrators> on a new line.

Right below that, add the SteamID you copied earlier using this exact format: <unsignedLong>12345678901234567</unsignedLong>. Just remember to swap those placeholder numbers with the actual SteamID.

Finally, close out the section on the next line by typing </Administrators>.

If you ever need to add more admins later, you can simply stack another <unsignedLong> line for each new player right between the top and bottom administrator tags.
