- Open Settings, then Game Settings. Set Admin Username and an Admin Password of your own (6 to 32 characters, no quotes or backslashes), then restart the server. Do this before the first start: changing the password later may not change the account that already exists.
- In the game's Join screen, log in with exactly that username and password. On a brand new server this account is the administrator.
- To make another player an admin, open the panel Console tab and type: setaccesslevel "username" "admin" (no slash). In game chat, an admin types it with the slash: /setaccesslevel "username" "admin".
