In this article we describe how you can become an admin in Vintage Story.
To do this, however, you first need to create a savegame on the server.
Start your server and play on it until the server saves.
The server saves the game every 5 minutes.

If a game has been saved, please proceed as follows:

1. Stop your server. The status of the server must be Server not running!
2. Connect to the Saves FTP.
3. Download the following file playerdata.json. You can find it here:

   ConfigID/data/Playerdata/

   Note: You can find the ConfigID or ConfigurationID for your server on our page under Gameserver.
   If your ConfigID was 123456, for example, it would look like this:/123456/data/Playerdata
   
4. Open the file you just downloaded and find the following line:"RoleCode": "suplayer",
5. Change the line as follows:"RoleCode": "admin",
   Note: Please make sure that you give admin rights to the correct player.
   Note the name under "LastKnownPlayername": "Test", for this.
6. Save your changes and upload the file again.
7. Start your server

Note: You can find the FTP login details in the web interface on 4Netplayers.com .
Click on your game server, then on FTP at the top.
Then click on the tab Saves, then scroll down a bit and there you will find the login data.
