Adding admins

This guide shows how to make a player an admin on your 7 Days To Die server. Admins are listed in the serveradmin.xml file, which you edit in the Files tab of the dashboard.

Add an admin in serveradmin.xml​

  1. Find the player's Steam64 ID. You can use a lookup site such as steamid.xyz: enter the player's Steam profile URL and copy the Steam64 ID.

  2. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your 7 Days To Die server.

  3. Stop the server with Shut down (see Power controls). Changes made to the file while the server runs can be overwritten.

  4. Open the Files tab and go to the .local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves folder.

  5. Select serveradmin.xml to open it in the editor (see Edit a file).

  6. Find the users section:

    <adminTools>
      <users>
      </users>

  7. Add this line between <users> and </users>. Put the player's Steam64 ID in userid and their name in name:

    <user platform="Steam" userid="76561198021925107" name="yourNickname" permission_level="0" />

    The result looks like this:

    <adminTools>
      <users>
        <user platform="Steam" userid="76561198021925107" name="yourNickname" permission_level="0" />
      </users>

  8. Select Save file.

  9. Start the server with Start.

permission_level="0" is the highest level and gives full admin rights. Add one <user ... /> line for each admin.
