Add yourself as an admin on a V Rising server

V Rising uses adminlist.txt for administrator account IDs. On this hosted template, the persistent settings directory is save-data/Settings. Panel access alone does not grant in-game admin commands.

Follow these steps

  1. Copy your SteamID64 from your own Steam account details.
  2. Stop the server and download a copy of save-data/Settings/adminlist.txt if it already exists.
  3. Add your numeric Steam ID on its own line, keeping the existing administrator IDs. Save the file in the active Settings directory.
  4. Start, join from that Steam account and enable the game’s console in its options.
  5. Open the in-game console with ~ and run adminauth. Use list to inspect available commands before running any that change the world.

If it still does not work

If access fails, confirm the active save-data path and the Steam account used by the client. Removing an ID from the list and restarting removes that listed access; keep independent panel permissions limited to the tasks helpers need.
