# How To Become An Admin Of Your Palworld Server

Learn how to become an Admin of your Palworld server and run any commands you need!

Giving yourself Admin powers is a simple process for Palworld dedicated servers, and this article will show you how to do that!

## Set Your Admin Password

There are two ways for you to add a password for your server, directly within our control panel Nodepanel, and by editing the server's config files.

### Nodepanel

You'll want to first go to your "Game Settings" tab on the left-hand side of the Panel, then click on the "Advanced" tab on the upper right-hand side.

This is where you can find the "Admin Password" text box field.

We’ve already provided you with a **randomly generated password** that you can copy and use but you can change it at your leisure.

Just be sure to "Save" your changes.

### Editing Files

If you don't have a server with us at Nodecraft, or just prefer to edit the files directly, this is the section you'll want to look at.

The first thing you’ll do is set the Admin Password for your server in the `PalWorldSettings.ini` file. You can find this file in the “File Manager” tab in the `/Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer` folders.

This is the primary config file for your server. As of the initial launch of Palworld's Early Access on January 19th, 2024, all settings are squashed together as in the screenshot below.

Near the end of the file, you’ll see the `AdminPassword=` setting, this is where you can set your chosen password, *in between the quotation marks*.

We’ve already provided you with a **randomly generated password** that you can copy and use but you can change it at your leisure.

Once you’ve made your changes, be sure to `Save`, and then Start up the server.

## Authorize Yourself In-Game

The next step is you’ll want to join your server.

Once you’re in-game, you’ll open up the chat box (`ENTER`) and type: `/AdminPassword yourchosenpassword`

If you enter it correctly, you’ll get a confirmation, and you’re all set to use Admin Commands!
