How to become Admin in StarBound

In this article, we will explain how to become an admin on your StarBound server.

However, in order for this to work, your configuration must be in Advanced Mode.

1. Open the configuration of your server for editing.
   Click on the name of your server or the gray gear icon in the server overview.
2. Click on starbound_server.config on the left.
3. Scroll down in the text editor to

      "serverUsers" : {
      },

4. Admin entries are created according to this template:

      "serverUsers" : {
         "AdminName" : {
             "admin" : true,
             "password" : "YourPW"
             }
      },

5. You can of course enter more than one admin:

      "serverUsers" : {
         "AdminName1" : {
             "admin" : true,
             "password" : "YourPW1"
             },
         "AdminName2" : {
             "admin" : true,
             "password" : "YourPW2"
             },
         "AdminName3" : {
             "admin" : true,
             "password" : "YourPW3"
             }
      },

6. Click on Save and restart your server.

To have access to the admin functions in-game, enter the name and corresponding password that you specified above when connecting to the server.
You can access the admin menu by using the /admin command.
