SCUM Admin Management
SCUM uses two separate admin files: AdminUsers.ini for command permissions (including permission tiers) and ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini for in-game admin menu access. This guide covers both.
SCUM Admin Management
SCUM separates admin access into two files. Understanding which file does what prevents confusion when granting permissions.
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
AdminUsers.ini |
Grants RCON command access and optional permission tiers |
ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini |
Grants access to the in-game admin menu (F1 panel) |
Both files are located in:
SCUM\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\
Finding a Player's Steam64 ID
- Open your Steam profile in a browser.
- Right-click anywhere on the page → View Page Source.
- Search for
steamid— you'll see a number like76561198012345678.
Alternatively use steamid.io and paste the player's profile URL.
AdminUsers.ini — Command Permissions
Each line is one Steam64 ID:
76561198012345678
76561198087654321
Optional permission tiers — add one or more permission flags in square brackets after the Steam64 ID:
76561198012345678 [SpawnVehicle,TeleportToMe,BanPlayer,KickPlayer]
76561198087654321 [KickPlayer,MutePlayer]
Common permission flags:
| Flag | Access Granted |
|---|---|
SpawnVehicle |
Spawn vehicles via admin commands |
TeleportToMe |
Teleport players to your location |
TeleportToPlayer |
Teleport to a player's location |
BanPlayer |
Permanently ban players |
KickPlayer |
Kick players from the server |
MutePlayer |
Mute players in VOIP |
GodMode |
Enable invulnerability for yourself |
SpawnItem |
Spawn items |
SetTime |
Change server time |
If you omit brackets entirely, the admin receives all permissions.
ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini — In-Game Admin Menu
This file controls who can open the in-game admin menu (pressed with F1 by default). Each line is a plain Steam64 ID with no brackets:
76561198012345678
76561198087654321
Players listed here can open the admin panel to teleport, ban, kick, and monitor players in real time without using RCON.
Common Workflow
For full admins, add the Steam64 ID to both files. For moderators who only need the in-game panel, add them only to ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini.
After editing either file:
- Stop the server.
- Edit the file and save.
- Restart the server.
In-Game Admin Commands
Once listed in AdminUsers.ini, open the SCUM console (typically ~ key) and prefix commands with #:
#Kick <SteamID or name>
#Ban <SteamID> <duration in days> <reason>
#TeleportToPlayer <SteamID>
#GiveItem <SteamID> <item_class> <amount>
#SetTime <hour>
Type #help in the console to list all available commands on your server.
