How to make yourself an admin for Unturned

Unturned admin access is controlled from Commands.dat. Add your Steam64 ID as the owner, then restart the server so the change loads.

Find your Steam64 ID

1. Open steamid.io/lookup.
2. Paste your Steam profile URL or Steam username.
3. Copy the Steam64 ID value.

Add yourself as owner

1. Log in to the game control panel and open your Unturned server.
2. Stop the server.
3. Open Configuration Files.
4. Click Config Editor beside Commands.dat.
5. Enter your Steam64 ID in the owner/admin field.
6. Add Cheats on its own line only if you also want admin cheat commands available.
7. Save the file.
8. Start the server and join to test admin access.

Example Commands.dat entries

Owner 7656119XXXXXXXXXX
Cheats

Replace 7656119XXXXXXXXXX with your own Steam64 ID. Keep each command on its own line. Smartly Dressed Games' server documentation uses Owner for admin access and Cheats to enable cheat commands.

Troubleshooting

• Use the Steam64 ID, not a display name or short Steam ID.
• Restart the server after saving Commands.dat.
• If admin commands still fail, check the web console or log viewer for startup errors.
