[Conclave Backshots]

You can't.

[Jack'lul]

You can only give admin to others on dedicated servers.

There's a workshop that allows you to rank the people in your server called "Moderator Commands". You can subscribe and work it from there.

And really, if it's someone you know and can trust to be apart of the admin group, you can do the following (by manuallying doing it) steps. It works both ways in dedicated or not.
1) To become or add someone to be admin of your server, go to your documents/klei/don't starve together/save and create an adminlist.txt, if it isn't there.
2) Ask the person you want to be admin for their ID. NOT STEAM ID, but their Klei ids by having them going to the main menu, look at the bottom right to see Account Info, and grab the entire ID. Example: KU_ad39dik
3) Grab that whole KU_ad39dik and put it into your adminlist.txt. Reset your server and have the player join your game again. Hit tab and you should see a star right below their character icon.

Hi mathews4pack,

it's dedicated server? host game?

dedicated server on Windows? Windows server? Linux? Mac OS X?

Host with it being a group server get the groups id number set group admins to be admin stuff like that then boom.

Thanks i found out a long time ago i just forgot about this discussion :D

It's relatively simple.
On Windows:

-Naviagte to Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether/client_save/

-create a file here called adminlist.txt

-You'll need two numbers. One will be the DST "KU" ID number of the player you want to add. The other will be their SteamID.

-Go to the client_chat_log.txt file, which is up one directory (i.e. in DoNotStarveTogether) and look there. All persons chatting will be identified by both their screen-name and their KU ID.
*There may be another way to obtain this number but I'm not aware of it. The console command c_listallplayers() doesn't seem to provide it. So if the person you want to add hasn't spoken in chat I'm not personally sure of how you'd get their KU #. Easiest in this case is to have them type something, anything, then shut down the server so that file gets written to with the latest chat log, making it simple to find.

-Copy the KU ID of the person you wish to make admin, for example: KU_AABB2233

-Go back to the adminlist.txt file you created, and paste this in.

-Their Steam ID is much easier to find. Go to their profile page, and look at the address bar at the top of the screen. You'll see something like http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/12345678987654321.

-Copy just the string of numbers at the end, nothing else.

-The last thing to do, before you finish by pasting their Steam ID into the adminlist.txt file, is to add a special symbol in, after their KU #. It's this: º Basically a "degrees" symbol. You'll want that pasted in after the KU #, then comes the Steam ID, then another "degrees" symbol.

-It should look like this, when finished: KU_AABB2233º12345678987654321º

-Save the file and close it, then start the server again and voila, you've now given someone admin rights.

This *does* work just fine on hosted servers. I can personally confirm that, as I made my wife admin on my hosted server using this method. To confirm it in-game, load the world, then press the Tab key. You'll see that the person you added now has a "star" symbol to the left of their name and icon, just as you do.

Enjoy :)

*edit: just saw written above that a person can see their own KU # on the main screen. If this is correct it should simplify the process, eliminating the need to look at the chat log.

But how do you doing if you have a dedicated server with only 1 folder with "bins /data /mods /steamaps /storage /dontstarve.xpm / version.txt" ? i dont have any Documents parts in FTP , unlike in my computer (but will only change admin for a lan server , not on my dedicated).

Edit : found here
DoNotStarveTogether\storage\config\Cluster_1\Master\save\adminlist.txt

This doesn't work any longer for Linux dedicated servers.

[ToNiO]

that's still works, check my guide for that:

This doesn't work for Linux dedicated servers either...
