Adding additional Admins to your Avorion Server

This guide shows how to add administrators to your Avorion server using 64-bit Steam IDs.

After admins are added, they can use Avorion console and admin commands in-game.

  1. Get each admin’s 64-bit Steam ID from steamid.io or steamid.net
  2. Open the AleForge Panel
  3. Stop the server
  4. Open File Manager
  5. Go to the galaxy folder and open your active galaxy folder
  6. Open the galaxy configuration file and find the administrators section
  7. Add a new <admin> line for each administrator (see example below)
  8. Save the file and restart the server

Some Avorion installs also store admins in admin.xml inside the galaxy folder. If you see that file, you can edit it instead using the same Steam ID format.

<administrators>
<admin name="admin1" id="9978361475350069"/>
<admin name="admin2" id="8703864364411860"/>
<admin name="admin3" id="2389737095332616"/>
</administrators>

The name value is a label for your reference. The id must be the player’s 64-bit Steam ID.
