How to make a user an administrator in Rust

You'll need to follow this guide in order to add an administrator/owner to your rust server, with permissions to use cheats in the server.

Permission levels

• ownerid permissions allow the use of all commands, alongside making other users administrators (and removing administrator permissions)
• moderatorid permissions allow the use of all commands, but are not able to change the roles of other users

Adding permissions

1. Log into your server via FTP
2. Go to the /server/server1/cfg folder, and open the users.cfg. If it doesn't exist, make the file.
3. Find the ID of each user you wish to add with steamid.io
4. On separate lines, add a line for each ownerid user with the contents: ownerid "STEAM_ID" "USERNAME" "REASON"
5. On separate lines, add a line for each moderatorid user with the contents: moderatorid "STEAM_ID" "USERNAME" "REASON"
6. Restart your gameserver through the Pebblehost control panel
