# How to Add Admins to your Server

Learn how to add Admins to your Core Keeper dedicated server.

To add admins to your Core Keeper dedicated server, you will need to modify the proper config file to include the SteamID of the players you want to grant administrator privileges. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

## Locate the Configuration File

The file you’ll want to locate is called `Admins.json`. This file is situated where the server’s `DataPath` is set to. At Nodecraft, you can find this file in the Server Files tab, within the `/Dedicated Server` folder.

## ![A view of the DataPath folder for a Core Keeper server within Nodecraft Pro](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1919x786/7dfd90a66f/datapath-folder.png/m/)Edit the Admins.json File

Select the Admins.json file and click the Edit button.

You will need to add the [Steam64IDs](https://steamid.net) of admins here. When you open the file, you will see a structure like this:

Copy/Paste the following code and place it between the square brackets.

```
{
"index": 1,
"privileges": 1,
"name": "CharacterName",
"steamId": STEAM64ID
}
```

Replace `CharacterName` and `STEAM64ID` with each player’s character name and their corresponding [Steam64ID](https://steamid.net). It should look like the following:

If you have more than one player you wish to grant admin privileges to, you’ll want to separate each section with a comma, like so:

![Two admins added to the Admins.json file for Core Keeper](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1919x784/3d2d39d80e/2-admins.png/m/1000x0/smart)

## Save Your Edits and Restart

After making your edits, make sure to click the Save Changes button.

For the changes to take effect, you will need to restart your Core Keeper server.

Once the server is running again, admins can grant admin access in-game via the Pause menu.
