Admin permissions on your server
On a team server, every team member with a linked Steam account is a server admin. On a personal server, only you are. Admin rights update when the server starts, so reboot it after someone joins the team or links Steam.
Give a teammate admin
- Have them connect their Steam account on scl.gg. Without it, the server can't match them to their SCL account.
- Have them join your team. See How to join a team.
- Open Server in the sidebar and press Reboot. If the server is off, press Start.
The server reads the team's members each time it starts or reboots. Someone who leaves the team loses admin at the next reboot.
Personal server
Only the player who holds the subscription is an admin. Other players on the server can use the commands that don't need admin.
What needs admin
- Switch modes with
.prac,.matchor.wingman. - Start a dryrun with
.dryrun. - Change the map with
.map. - Set up and run a scrim, for example
.start,.switchand.endmatch. - Use most retake commands, the ones that start with
!.
Everyone can use practice commands such as .bot and .record. Everyone can also use match commands such as .ready, .pause and .coach.
If chat says you don't have permission
Most admin commands answer You do not have permission to use this command! when you aren't an admin. .switch answers Only the creator of the scrim can use the .switch command. instead. Both mean you aren't an admin on this server.
- Connect your Steam account on scl.gg if you haven't.
- Join the team that owns the server if you aren't on it.
- Reboot the server from the Server page.
