Can’t become afmin on my own nitrado server

[appelflap]

Hello, and before I start: my english is not that good sorry. Anyway, i have rented a server from nitrado and I want to become the admin of it. I already pasted a code with my steam ID in the game admin xml file. When I enter the server and type in: dm it says i don’t have permission. (My server is set to cheat mode). Help would be apreciated! (I posted the same topic in multiple sections because i didn’t know which one was good)

Shutdown server
Edit the serveradmin.xml by adding your ID with power of 0
make sure you removed the <!-- -->
Start game
have fun

I tried that twice, but didn’t work.
I’ll paste my code tomorrow morning.
(On my phone right now)
Thanks anyways!

I think debug mode is not listed within the admin permissions file by default, and as such it wont let you use it?

<adminTools>
    <admins>
		<admin steamID="YourSteamIDHere" permission_level="0" />
    </admins>

    <moderators>
        <!-- <moderator steamID="XX" permission_level="1" /> -->
    </moderators>

    <permissions>
		<permission cmd="lp" permission_level="0" /> 
		<permission cmd="kick" permission_level="0" />
		<permission cmd="ban" permission_level="0" />
		<permission cmd="sg" permission_level="0" />
		<permission cmd="cm" permission_level="0" />
		<permission cmd="se" permission_level="0" />
		<permission cmd="st" permission_level="0" />
		<permission cmd="dm" permission_level="0" />
		<permission cmd="tp" permission_level="0" />
		<permission cmd="tele" permission_level="0" />
    </permissions>

Your serveradmin.xml should look similar to this, Some of the commands above are ones i had to manually add to the file (Namely SE, ST, DM, TP, and Tele, i think) If they are NOT within this file, the command is not usable.

If you don't have access to the file you should be able to add commands in game by using the cp add command, in this case "cp add debugmenu 0"

Wrote my Serveradmin.xml today and it works (so far i testet until now)

Btw
0 = HeadAdmin
200 = Admin
(400 would be support admins)
600 = Moderator
800 = Trusted player
1000 = player

That's..Very strange then, Because me and my friends were having trouble using a number of commands prior to including them within the file, despite all being admin w/ level 0 permission.. Guess thats just some oddity we ran into then, or maybe a relic from an older version of the game when we had the trouble?

^^ can be both
wanted only to show that it should work in the current Build
I have the Power of 0 COmmands only in my list to have the list so complete as possible

Hi,

Have you ever had admin rights on that specific server?

1. Make sure you name the file correct (serveradmin.xml)
2. Make sure the file is located in the correct folder (i also have a nitrado server and realized that the serveradmin path is different like in single player on your pc)
3. Make sure that neither the admin line nor the permission line is quoted ('<!--') which often is the case if you copy the code from somewhere
4. Make sure your permission level is 0 (zero), not 100 or 1000 - the lower your level the better and definitively ensure that your admin level is lower or equal to the 'dm' permission level

Many little issues which can cause this problen

Btw: on my (german) nitrado server it is not necessary to stop the server. I can change and save the file 'on the fly' at the web browser and can immediately test if it worked well ;)

[VtheInferno]

Good points have been made here, but also be sure you don't include any spaces. What I mean is this

Good:

<adminTools>
<admins>
<!-- <admin steamID="76561198021925107" permission_level="0" /> -->
<admin steamID="76561198321326453" permission_level="1000" />
</admins>


Bad:

<adminTools>
<admins>
<!-- <admin steamID="76561198021925107" permission_level="0" /> -->
<admin steamID="76561198321326453" permission_level="1000" />

</admins>


If that doesn't work (though I'd probably do it anyway): log in to your server's control panel, then go to your server's web control panel. Type "admin add <playerID> <permission level>" (replace playerID with player's GUID and 0 for admin or 1 for moderator).

In combination, you should be good to go after that point.

[Avanar]

After altering the admin file on nitrsdo you have to restart the server. Did you do this?

[appelflap]

I’ll try all of this today and will post if it worked, thanks alot!

[appelflap]

one more question: i have the ability to activate the control panel, what does this mean?

[appelflap]

i can't get it to work;( its says command denied for appelflap.
i have cheat mode on and did everything.
my path to my serveradmin file is: C:\Users\jortd\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Saves

[Nobody]

Do it again. And i hope you edited the file on the Server and not on your home pc
