How to Add an Admin on a Space Engineers Server

In this guide we are going to cover how you can add a Steam player as an administrator on your Space Engineers server. Adding an administrator gives that player access to admin tools to help manage your server.

Adding an Administrator

1. Open your Dashboard

2. Locate your Space Engineers server and click on the Manage button.

3. Stop your server before editing the configuration file.

4. Under Files & Backup, click on Server Files.

   

5. Under the Shortcuts section in the file browser, open SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg by double clicking on it.

   

6. Near the bottom of the file, locate the Administrators section which should be a line like this: </Administrators>

   
   

7. Replace the one line with:

   <Administrators>

   <unsignedLong>SteamID64 Here</unsignedLong>

   </Administrators>
   

8. If you need the SteamID you can look it at SteamID.net

9. Click on Save Changes to save the file.

   

10. Start your server to apply the change.

Conclusion

You have now added a Steam player as an administrator on your Space Engineers server. That player can join the server and use admin tools to help manage it. If you need more than one admin you can duplicate the unsignedLong line and add more SteamIDs.
