Admins can manage players and use special commands. This guide shows how to grant admin on Starbound and how to keep it secure.

Grant admin

In starbound_server.config, add your account under serverUsers with "admin": true. Admins can use in game commands when allowAdminCommands is on.

Good practice

  • Only give admin to people you trust.
  • Use strong, unique passwords for any admin features.
  • Keep a record of who has access, and remove it when it is no longer needed.
  • Avoid using admin powers during normal play to keep things fair.
