Trusted Steam accounts listed in ownerswhitelist.txt receive the highest in-game server role. Owners can promote other players, remove roles, kick guests and manage bans from the pause menu.

  1. Find the account Steam ID from Steam Account Details.
  2. Stop the server and open Configuration Files.
  3. Click Text Editor beside ownerswhitelist.txt.

  4. Add one Steam ID per line. A line beginning with # is a comment.

  5. Click Save & Exit, start the server and reconnect.

Only add people you trust. Once connected, an owner can use Pause Menu > Players to assign the lower administrator role to another player.
