SCUM Server Admin
In order to execute admin commands in-game on SCUM, a user needs admin access. To give a player in-game admin access, their Steam64 ID needs to be added to the AdminUsers.ini file.
Get Steam64 ID:
A user's Steam64 ID can be retrieved from the login.log file if they have accessed the SCUM Server before. Alternatively, it can be searched for on the https://steamid.io/ website.
AdminUsers.ini:
For each user that needs to be added as an in-game SCUM server admin, create a new line in the AdminUsers.ini file. See examples below.
Steamid -------------------> Has access to admin commands.
Steamid[SetGodMode] ---> Has access to admin commands and godmode.
Steamid[SetGodMode, ShutdownServer] ---> Has access to admin commands, godmode and server restart command.
Steamid[ShutdownServer] -------------------> Has access to admin commands and server restart command.
God Mode:
God mode gives an admin player the ability to instantly create buildable structures, without the need to fill blueprints with components. It does not grant invincibility and it does not protect a player from damage.
Enabling god mode takes two steps. First, place [SetGodMode] next to the user's Steam64 ID in the AdminUsers.ini file. See the example image above. That authorises the account, but nothing changes in game yet.
Second, the authorised player presses "T" to open the chat widget and enters:
#SetGodMode true
Use #SetGodMode false to turn it off again. The full list of admin commands is in our SCUM Admin Commands guide.
ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini:
In order to get access to the new in-game admin menu, you also need to add your Steam64 ID to the ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini file. Do not add anything else, as this will cause the file not to read your ID. ONLY add the Steam64 IDs, one per line.
Once saved, press Escape on your keyboard and you will see the Server Settings menu listed.
