FiveM uses an Ace permission system to grant admin rights. You add permission assignments to server.cfg.
Find a player's identifier
You need the player's Steam, Discord, or FiveM identifier. The easiest way is to check the server console while the player is online, look for lines like steam:110000... or discord:123456....
Add an admin
Open server.cfg and add these two lines, replacing the identifier and Steam hex with your admin's details:
add_principal identifier.steam:YOUR_STEAM_HEX group.admin
add_ace group.admin command allowThis grants the group.admin role and allows all commands.
Grant specific permissions only
For more granular control you can allow specific aces instead of full command access:
add_ace group.admin command.kick allow
add_ace group.admin command.ban allow
add_ace group.admin command.tempban allowtxAdmin (if enabled)
If your server runs txAdmin (our FiveM egg enables it by default), you can manage admins from the txAdmin web interface. Access it at http://yourip:40120 and log in with your txAdmin credentials set during first run.
Apply changes
Save server.cfg and restart the server. Admin rights take effect on the next connection.
