How To Add Admins To Your VEIN Server - Vein Guide

Managing player permissions—including granting administrative privileges—is essential for maintaining a healthy gaming environment.

VEIN servers use the Game.ini configuration file to manage administrators. This guide will cover becoming an Administrator, or Super Administrator.

Setting Yourself As An Admin

Note

Due to recent VEIN updates, the method for adding additional Admins may not work on the current version. This guide will be updated if there is a new official method per the Vein Official Server Documentation.

Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your VEIN server.
In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
Navigate to /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini and look for the section named [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession].

Add your SteamID64 to SuperAdminSteamIDs=. For multiple admins, use a + before each additional entry:


[/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
ServerName=Hosted By GhostCap
ServerDescription=A server hosted by GhostCap
SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198106341655
+SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198106341655 (Create a new line with `+SuperAdminSteamIDs=` to add additional Super Admins)
+SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198106341655
AdminSteamIDs=76561198106341655
+AdminSteamIDs=76561198106341655 (Create a new line with `+AdminSteamIDs=` to add additional Admins)
+AdminSteamIDs=76561198106341655
HeartbeatInterval=10.0
Password=
bPublic=True
BindAddr=0.0.0.0

Go to Console and Start your server.

Tip

Use AdminSteamIDs for regular admins and SuperAdminSteamIDs for admins with elevated permissions.

Using the Admin Menu

After becoming an admin, you can manage players and change server settings directly from in-game using the admin menu.

Connect to your server.
Press \ to open the admin menu.
