How can I add administrators to my 7 Days to Die server?

Managing a game server can be a complex task, but with the right tools and instructions, it becomes much easier. Here’s how 🙂

Prerequisites

A 7 Days to Die server with version Alpha 20.4 or higher. Our offers allow you to create a 7 Days to Die server in just a few seconds.

To begin with, you need to locate the serveradmin.xml file. On Oxygenserv, the file is located in the .local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves/serveradmin.xml directory.

Find your SteamID64 or EOS (Epic) ID

SteamID64: Use the steamid.io website to find your SteamID64.

EOS ID: Go to your server and check the logs. Delete the “EOS_” part when entering the value below.

File modification

In the serveradmin.xml file, which you can edit with a text editor, look for the line (line 49 in the default file).

To add a Steam administrator, add the following line:

<user platform="Steam" userid="YourSteamID64Here" permission_level="0" />

To add an Epic administrator, add this line :

<user platform="EOS" userid="YourEpicOnlineServicesIDHere" permission_level="0" />

Save the file and restart your server

Once these steps have been completed, new administrators will have access to all the commands listed in the configuration file.

Enjoy the game!
