How to Become an Admin on an Arma Reforger Server

There are two ways to get admin rights on your Arma Reforger server: via an admin password or via your Steam64 ID.

Set Admin Password

  1. Open dashboard
    Open your dashboard and select your Arma Reforger server.

  2. Set password
    Navigate to the settings and enter your desired password under Admin Password.

  3. Restart server
    Save the settings and restart the server.

Important

The admin password must be at least 3 characters long and cannot contain spaces.

Permanent Admins via Steam64 ID

Alternatively, you can permanently add players as admins so they don't need to log in each time.

  1. Open config
    Open the file config.json and find the "admins" entry in the "game" section.

  2. Add Steam64 IDs
    Add the Steam64 IDs of the desired admins:

    json
    "game": {
      "admins": [
        "76561198XXXXXXXXX",
        "76561198YYYYYYYYY"
      ]
    }
    "game": {
      "admins": [
        "76561198XXXXXXXXX",
        "76561198YYYYYYYYY"
      ]
    }
  3. Restart server
    Save the changes and restart the server.
