# How to Add Admins to Your Vintage Story Server

Learn how to add admins to your Vintage Story server so they have access to admin commands! 

Assigning admin permissions in **Vintage Story** gives trusted players access to powerful commands for managing gameplay—such as teleporting, changing game modes, banning users, and more. This is essential for moderating and maintaining your server’s community.

## Assigning an Admin Using the Nodecraft Console

You can promote a player to admin by using the `/op` command through the **Console** tab in your Nodecraft panel.

1. Log in to your **Nodecraft Panel**.
2. Start your Vintage Story server if it's not already running.
3. Click on the **Console** tab in the left-hand menu.
4. In the input box, type the following command: `/op <playername>`

  Replace `<playername>` with the exact username of the player you want to promote.

Once a player has been granted admin rights, they can use a variety of in-game administrative commands.

You can view a full list of available commands in the official Vintage Story documentation:

## Quick Tips

- Make sure the server is **running** before issuing commands in the console.
- Use the **exact spelling and capitalization** of the player’s name.
- Double-check that the player has connected to the server at least once before assigning permissions.
