How To Add Admins On Your Project Zomboid Server

Learn how to add admins to your Project Zomboid server with the setaccesslevel command, and what each access level can do.

This guide covers how to add admins on your Project Zomboid server using the setaccesslevel console command.

How to Add Admins in Project Zomboid

  1. Make sure the player you want to promote is connected to your server; the command only works on online players.

  2. Log in to the GhostCap Panel and select your Project Zomboid server.

  3. In the sidebar, go to Console and enter this command:

    setaccesslevel "username" admin
    

    example

    setaccesslevel "Toehunter" admin
    

Existing admins can also promote players in-game by typing the same command in chat with a / in front, for example /setaccesslevel "username" admin.

Project Zomboid Access Levels

Here are the access levels you can use in place of admin in the command above, from most powerful to least. Each level also includes everything the levels below it can do:

Access LevelDescription
adminFull access to every command, server options and the in-game admin panel.
moderatorBan players, manage the whitelist, set up safehouses and grant access levels below admin.
overseerKick players, create hordes, display server messages and edit player stats.
gmGod mode, invisibility and noclip on other players, event and weather commands, and adding items and XP.
observerInvisible spectating, god mode and noclip on themselves, teleporting to players, and viewing player stats.
noneThe default level with no admin powers; use it to remove a player's access level.

How to Remove Admins in Project Zomboid

  1. Log in to the GhostCap Panel and select your Project Zomboid server.

  2. In the sidebar, go to Console and enter this command while the player is online:

    setaccesslevel "username" none
    

    This strips the player of any access level they were previously given.
