Add an admin on your 7 Days to Die server: edit serveradmin.xml in your game panel, enter the player's Steam64ID or EOS ID, then set command permission levels if you need to.
How to add admins on your 7 Days to Die server
- Stop the server.
- Go to Configuration Files and edit the
serveradmin.xmlfile with the Config Editor option (CONFIG EDITOR). - Select the player's platform, then fill in the Steam64ID if the player is on Steam, or the EOS ID if the player is on Epic, plus the player name (see below how to get the Steam64ID or EOS ID).
- Start the server.
How to find the Steam64ID or EOS ID
- If the player plays on Steam, you can get their Steam64ID with this website: GET STEAM64ID
- If the player plays on Epic or Xbox, you need their EOS ID. You can get it from the Web Console button: open the Web Console, ask the player to join the server and you'll see their EOS ID, like in the image below. Remove the
EOS_part and only add the numbers.
How to set up the permissions
Permissions already come pre-configured. Only change them if you really need to.
- Inside the
serveradmin.xmlfile, enable the Advanced Permissions option at the bottom.
- Under the command permissions field, change the permission level assigned to each command. Admins can only execute commands set to their permission level or higher. For example, a player with permission level 500 can only execute commands from 500 up to 1000. Level 0 is the super admin and can execute all commands.
