Adding an Admin
You can designate players as admins using their SteamID64 in the CONFIG_server.cfg file.
You will need the SteamID64, which you can obtain, among other ways, from here: https://steamid.io
Your server must also be in Advanced mode.
Enter the players as follows:
admins[]=
{
"SteamdID64",
"SteamdID64",
"SteamdID64",
};
You can then simply log in as an admin on the server using the #login command without specifying a password.
