To control your gameplay, it’s crucial to add yourself or a authorized person as admin on your Barotrauma server. Admins can perform actions like mute, ban and kick players, spawn items and many other “super-power” command available.
Follow these steps to add an administrator to your Barotrauma server:
1. Stop your server
Open server panel website in your favorite browser and log in with your credentials. Select your Barotrauma server from the list – you should be redirected to the “Console” tab where you can click on “Stop” button to stop your server.
2. Navigate configuration file
Go to the “Files” tab to access server files. You can add an administrator in clientpermissions.xml file, so follow this path to find it: /home/container/Data/clientpermissions.xml
3. Type in your Steam ID
To add an admin, you need to paste appropriate lines between <ClientPermissions> and </ClientPermissions>. Copy and paste the following expression into the appropriate place:
<Client name="YourInGameName" steamid="YourSteamID" preset="Admin" />
4. Save changes
Click on “SAVE CONTENT” button in the right bottom corner to save all previously entered data.
5. Start your server
Come back to the “Console” tab and click on “Start” button to start your server.
Now you can join your Barotrauma server. You should see a window with available administrator permissions:
