Arma Reforger UID, Steam64ID and admin slots: important notes
- You can add admins using either their Steam64ID or IdentityID. You can get a player's Steam64ID from this website: https://steamid.io/
- Only admins added via IdentityID currently support the priority queue feature. Admins added with Steam64ID do not support the priority queue at this time.
- The game allows up to 20 admins, which you can configure by editing the
Server.jsonfile using the Text Editor option. - You can obtain a player's IdentityID from the Web Console while they are actively connected to the server. Alternatively, you can search for the player's name in previous
console.logfiles using the Log Viewer button, as long as theLog Leveloption in theStart.batfile is set toNormal. - When editing the
Server.jsonfile using the Config Editor, you can easily enable or disable admin access without removing their IdentityID or Steam64ID. This lets you manage admin permissions quickly as needed, without having to re-add users.

Arma Reforger admin questions
How do I find a player's Arma Reforger UID?
While the player is connected, open the Web Console in the game panel, enter your BIS RCON password (from Server Details) and type the players command. It lists every connected player with their IdentityID, the Player UID. For players who are offline, search their name in old console.log files in the Log Viewer, as long as Log Level in Start.bat is set to Normal.
Should I use the IdentityID or the Steam64ID?
Use the IdentityID if you can. Both give admin rights, but only admins added via IdentityID currently get the priority queue feature.
How many admins can my Arma Reforger server have?
Up to 20. Add extra admins by editing Server.json with the Text Editor option in Configuration Files. With the Config Editor you can switch each admin slot on or off without deleting the UID.
