Squad Admin Setup (Admins.cfg)

Squad Admin Setup (Admins.cfg)

Assign admin and moderator roles for your Squad server.

> Note: Squad does not use a Steam GSLT token. If a guide tells you to generate a GSLT for Squad, ignore it — it doesn't apply. Public listing is handled differently (see Squad Server Visibility & Listing).

1. Open the Config

Go to the Files tab and open SquadGame/ServerConfig/Admins.cfg.

2. Define a Group, Then Assign Admins

Admins.cfg has two parts: first you define groups (a name plus a list of permissions), then you map each player's SteamID64 to a group.

// 1) Groups — Group=<Name>:<comma-separated permissions>
Group=Moderator:canseeadminchat,chat,kick,ban,teamchange
Group=SuperAdmin:canseeadminchat,chat,kick,ban,teamchange,forceteamchange,changemap,pause,startvote,cameraman,immune,manageserver,reserve,balance,cheat,debug,featuretest,demos

// 2) Admins — Admin=<SteamID64>:<GroupName>
Admin=76561198000000000:SuperAdmin  // YourName
Admin=76561198000000001:Moderator   // Friend

1. Keep the default groups already in the file, or edit them as above. 2. Add one Admin=<SteamID64>:<GroupName> line per admin. Find a player's SteamID64 at steamid.io. 3. Click Save Content, then Restart the server from the Console tab (changes also apply on the next map change).

3. In-Game Admin Commands

Once you're an admin, open chat and use AdminKick "PlayerName" Reason, AdminBan "PlayerName" "1d" Reason, AdminChangeLayer <LayerID>, or AdminBroadcast Message.
