How To Add Admins To Your VEIN Server

Managing player permissions—including granting administrative privileges—is essential for maintaining a healthy gaming environment. This guide will cover becoming an Administrator or Super Administrator on your VEIN server.

Adding Admins Via Server Options (Recommended)

1. Access the GhostCap Panel and select your VEIN server.
2. In the sidebar, go to Server Options.
3. Find Admin Steam IDs or Super Admin Steam IDs and add the SteamID64 of the player.
4. Restart your server.

For multiple admins, separate each SteamID64 with a comma in the panel field: 76561198012345678,76561198012345679

The comma format only applies to the panel field. If you edit Game.ini directly, each admin needs its own line (see the manual method below).

Adding Admins Via Game.ini (Manual Method)

If you prefer to edit the configuration file directly:

1. Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your VEIN server.
2. In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
3. Navigate to /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini and look for the section named [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession].
4. Add your SteamID64 to SuperAdminSteamIDs= or AdminSteamIDs=. For multiple admins, do not separate IDs with commas. Instead, add a new SuperAdminSteamIDs= or AdminSteamIDs= line for each player:

   [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
   ServerName=Hosted By GhostCap
   ServerDescription=A server hosted by GhostCap
   SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198106341655
   SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
   SuperAdminSteamIDs=76561198012345679
   AdminSteamIDs=76561198106341655
   AdminSteamIDs=76561198012345678
   AdminSteamIDs=76561198012345679
   HeartbeatInterval=10.0
   Password=
   bPublic=True
   BindAddr=0.0.0.0
   

5. Go to Console and Start your server.

Using the Admin Menu

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

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