- Open the server's Console tab in the panel and run /promote followed by your Factorio player name, spelled exactly as it appears in game.
- Repeat for anyone else who should be an admin. Use /admins to see the current list.
- Admins can then type the same commands in the in-game chat window when the command starts with a slash.
- If someone is no longer an admin after a restart or after loading a different world, run /promote for them again.
