How to Add an Admin to Your Rust Server

Where to make these changes in the Konnect panel

Open the server from the Arix-themed Pterodactyl server list. Use Console for commands and errors, Files for configuration and uploads, Backups before risky changes, Schedules for automation, Users for delegated access, and Settings for SFTP details. Stop the server before replacing active save or database files, then watch Console during the next startup.

Choose the correct role

Owners have full administrative access, while moderators have a smaller command set. Only assign owner access to people you trust completely.

Grant access

1. Copy the player’s SteamID64.
2. Open the live server console.
3. Run ownerid STEAMID "Name" "Reason" or moderatorid with the same format.
4. Run server.writecfg, then ask the player to reconnect.
