Rent a Beyond the Wire server
Rent your own Beyond the Wire server now at 4Netplayers.com

Note: You will need the SteamID64 of the players you want to make admins.
You can get the SteamID64 here, among other places: https://steamid.io


First you have to open the settings of your server.
Click on the name of your server or the grey cogwheel.

Basic Mode

In the Basic Mode click on Admin Settings.
Then enter the desired SteamID64 under Admin 1, Admin 2, ...,.
Then click on Save and restart the server.

Advanced Mode

In Advanced Mode click on Admins.cfg on the left.
In the text editor on the right, find the line Admin=:Admin.
Then enter the SteamID64 according to the following scheme: Admin=SteamID64:Admins group
For example, the entry would look like this: Admin=7656xxxxxxxx:Admin
or like this: Admin=7656xxxxxxxx:Moderator
Create a new line for each admin you want to add!.

Create your own admin groups

You can also create your own admin groups in the Admins.cfg in Beyond the Wire.
These are created according to the following scheme: Group=GroupName:Right1,Right2,Right3
As an example, let's create the group Superadmin:

Group=Superadmin:kick,ban,changemap,startvote,pause,cheat,private,chat

If you then want to assign a player to this group, the corresponding entry looks like this:

Admin=7656xxxxxxxx:Superadmin
