How to become an Admin on your server

Step 1: Set Your Admin Password in the Panel

Navigate to Basic Settings on your server panel sidebar.
Under the Server Identity section, enter your chosen password into the Admin Password field (e.g., pingplayerstest).
Click the purple Update Server button in the top-right corner to save your changes.

In the left sidebar under the Actions dropdown, click Restart.
Wait for the server to finish rebooting so your new password configuration is fully applied.

Launch Mordhau and open your Settings menu.
Navigate to Action Bindings and locate the SHOW CONSOLE row.
Confirm your bound key (by default set to backtick ` or Caret) so you know how to open the console in-game.

Connect to your Mordhau server.
Once spawned in, press your console key (`) to open the input bar at the bottom of the screen.
Type the login command and press Enter:

Plaintext

AdminLogin

(Example: AdminLogin pingplayerstest)

To verify that you have admin permissions active without checking console logs, use the match speed command:

Slomo 0.5

If world physics and character movements slow down to half-speed, your admin login was successful.

Slomo 1

The game will immediately return to normal speed.

Console won't open: Rebind Show Console in settings to an unambiguous key like F10 or \ (non-US keyboards often fail to register the backtick `).
Login fails or does nothing: Ensure your admin password uses only letters and numbers (no special characters), and confirm the server was fully restarted after saving.
Admin rights disappear after map changes: AdminLogin only lasts for the current session. For permanent access, add AdminSteamIDs= under [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession] in your Game.ini file.
Slomo doesn't respond: Check for the space in the command (e.g., Slomo 0.5). If game speed doesn't change, test your access by typing PlayerList into the console instead.
