How do I add and remove admins on my Vintage Story server?

Admins can use moderation and world commands such as teleporting players, giving items, and managing roles. You can promote players from the console, or automatically on every server start.

Add an admin (console)

1. Open the Blacksmith’s Portal and select your Vintage Story server
2. Go to Console
3. Run:

/op PlayerName

Replace PlayerName with the exact in-game player name.

Remove an admin (console)

Set the player back to a normal role, for example survival (suplayer) or creative (crplayer):

/player PlayerName role suplayer

or:

/player PlayerName role crplayer

You can also change the default role for new players under Startup → [ADMIN] Default Role (suplayer, crplayer, admin, and other built-in roles).

Op a player automatically on startup

Use this when you want a player opped every time the server starts.

1. Stop the server
2. Go to Startup
3. Set [ADMIN] Startup Commands to your op command, for example:

/op PlayerName

To run more than one command on start, separate them with line breaks. 4. Start the server

AleForge writes [ADMIN] Startup Commands into serverconfig.json on each start, so keep long-term op automation here instead of editing the config file by hand.

Admins can enter most commands in-game chat as well as from the panel console. For a broader command list, see Vintage Story server commands.
