Set the administrator for an Avorion dedicated server

The Admin ID field takes the owner’s SteamID64. The launcher passes it to Avorion’s --admin option. Your Konnect account name, Steam display name and profile nickname are not substitutes for that numeric account ID.

Make the change

  1. Confirm the Steam account that should have administrator access and obtain its SteamID64.
  2. Stop the server. In Startup, save that number in Admin ID without a profile URL or extra text.
  3. Keep Galaxy Name unchanged so the server loads the same galaxy.
  4. Start and join with the Steam account matching the ID.
  5. Use Avorion’s in-game administration interface to confirm access before granting other players permissions.

Galaxy NameIdentifies the world or save to load. Record the original value before changing it; another name can select a different save. Up to 32 characters.

Check the result

If access is missing, check the account used by the client and the value saved in Startup. Do not share your panel login as a workaround; game administration and panel access are separate permissions.
