How to Add Admins to Your Rust Server

Adding admins to your Rust server is extremely simple. This guide covers how to assign administrators on your server.

Steps

  1. Log in to your DazcoHost Game Panel.
  2. Select the server you're looking to modify.
  3. It is now time to add admins to your server. Since Rust has 2 options, here are examples on how to add both:

Owner Access OWNER ONLY

Owner access gives full control of the server through the F1 console, which includes RCON commands to load, unload, and reload plugins, and add/remove permissions. So we only suggest server owners have this permission.

Commands:

ownerid steamid (example: ownerid 7656119XXXXX)
server.writecfg

Moderator Access

Moderator access will only allow admins to have usual admin commands such as kick, ban, mute, spawn items, etc., but RCON commands won't work at all. Add these permissions for normal admins who are not owners of the server.

Commands:

moderatorid steamid (example: moderatorid 7656119XXXXX)
server.writecfg

Once you set these commands, simply rejoin the server and you will have admin access on the server.
