Admin access controls server/player management. Configure via TCAdmin and in-game files at fpsdedicated.com.
Panel Admin (TCAdmin)
- WHMCS client area: Login manages services (start/stop/files).
- Subusers: Settings > Users > Add (view-only or full control).
- Password: WHMCS profile > Change Password.
In-Game Admin
- Rust: server.cfg: ownerid STEAMID64 "name" "auth_level 2"
- ARK: ShooterGame.ini: AdminPassword=yourpass
- Valheim: adminlist.txt: Add SteamID64 per line.
RCON Passwords
- Set in server.cfg: RCONPassword=strongpass
- Connect via TCAdmin console or external tools.
Best Practices
- Strong passwords: 16+ chars, no dictionary words.
- Rotate quarterly; revoke departing admins.
- Limit auth levels (moderator vs owner).
Never share credentials publicly. Reset via panel/ticket if compromised.
