Dedicated Server - How to get Admin

[Fin]

I set up a Server but im not the Admin and i dont find anything to log in as a Admin. I cant change my accesslevel and i cant use /grantadmin. How can i activate myself as admin?

Thanks

make a character (username and password) once you are logged in go to the console and type "/setaccesslevel youraccountname admin" without quotes. if you are running a server from the gameclient i believe you need to enable -debug from the launch options.

I try but it says i dont have the permission to get Admin. It is my own Server but i cant give me the Access i need. I dont run a Server with the Game Client or Ingame.

I rent a Server.

imo set a second character as admin, everytime you log in you'll be in godmode,invis invincible, which breaks a lot of mechanics like weight and the sort. something to note if you are looking for a organic experience with friends or just moderating.

How to setup a admin. This is the question? I dont get it.

[Reodhadh]

ahh, you'll have to get access to the console on the host pc or however that is managed and type what I sent.
I run the software off my streaming pc personally, not really all that hard or demanding, if you have a old quad core pc/laptop with 8gb or more ram and at least 3mbit upload, you can do the same for free.
just need to download the dedicated server files from your Tools list in your steam library(you launch it outside of steam though, otherwise you can't boot PZ) and follow a guide to get it running, should only take about 30 mins to setup

Thanks for your help but i understand nothing. :/

If i run a hostet Game via the Game itself its super easy to get admin access and i can manage some things.

Now we got a dedicated Server on 4Players running the Game with Mods etc. all work fine but i never see a option to make one of us to admin.

I am not really a "pro" setting up things, but all run fine except the usage of admins. I am really pissed about this, because i search google and search more and i find nothing. You trying me to help and i understand nothing what i have to do. Can it just be easy with a commandline in the Serversettings like: Setadmin "Username" and no black magic you try to say to me? :(

I've never used a rented server in the past, you'll probably need to get in touch with support or whoever is managing the computer your server is running off of to get it working.

How it works for me is I have a big blacked out CMD prompt on my other pc, if I type /help it gives me a list of commands, from there I just typed /setaccesslevel myaccountname admin and it adds you to the list and you'll get the admin panel on the left side of the screen.
there isn't a option in the config to have it set someone as admin afaik, only from inside the dedicated server software.

yeah on my "own" hostet server its super easy, like you said.

If using G-portal you just log in with user name "admin" and use the admin password that you can find in the basic settings on the G-Portal site. I assume it´s similiar with other hosting companies.

I cant change back to Basic settings, i need to get it somewhere in the advanced settings.

I rent a Server.

Where do you rent it? I'm using GTXgaming and the admin password was set in a START_SERVER.bat file under configuration. Which was absolutely not at all how they said it would work in the hosts FAQ.

Where do you rent the server? The basic settings are on the host website where you manage your server, you can always access them.

i rent a Server by 4players. I cant get back to the basic setting because it will overwrite the advanced settings.

After some try and error i used a third party programm for rcon and it finally works. Super complicated.. But thanks to everyone here.

I was on the same issue here and finding nothing on google search, your answer its close, but to commands work on Dedicated Server's CMD, you can't use the slashes and in game you need to use the it; Ty.
