SCP: Secret Laboratory Remote Admin Panel

The Remote Admin (RA) panel is SCP:SL's primary admin interface. It is accessed in-game by players who have been granted admin permissions in config_remoteadmin.txt.


Granting Admin Access

Edit ~/.config/SCP Secret Laboratory/config/[PORT]/config_remoteadmin.txt:

Members:
  - 76561198012345678   # Add the admin's SteamID64 here

Restart the server for the change to take effect.

Finding a SteamID64: Use steamid.io — paste the player's Steam profile URL to get their SteamID64.

Permission Levels

SCP:SL has a hierarchical permission system:

ServerOwners config_remoteadmin.txt Full server control
Members (Staff) config_remoteadmin.txt Standard admin panel
GlobalModerators config_remoteadmin.txt Cross-server moderation

Granular permissions (what each staff member can do) can be configured per-role for more control with the EXILED plugin framework.
