How to Become an Admin on Necesse

Managing your growing settlement in Necesse means having a good team. As the server's Owner, you have the ultimate authority, including the power to grant permissions to your trusted friends and community members. You can appoint Admins to help you manage players and use cheats, or Moderators to simply help keep the peace.

This guide will show you exactly how to use your main Owner account (the one linked via your SteamID) to set up admins and other roles on your server, giving you full control over your realm.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Join your server as an Owner by setting your Steam account (it doesn't matter which character you use as long as it's under the same Steam account).

   

2. Press Enter to open the chat and use the command /permissions set PLAYERNAME admin. Replace PLAYERNAME with the actual player name you want to grant admin privileges. For example: /permissions set Pingplayers admin.

   

NOTE: You can add as many admins as you like, or even assign moderators instead of admins by changing "admin" to "moderator" in the command.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, here are some possible problems and their solutions:

• Account is not an owner: If you're unsure about your account's role, you can use the command /mypermissions to check. Ensure the server has been restarted after you changed the owner account and look out for any typos.
• It’s not assigning admin to someone: Make sure there are no typos in the player's name. You can use the TAB key to see player names and avoid mistakes.

Useful Commands for Admins

Admins have various capabilities to manage the server effectively. Here are some useful commands you might want to explore:

• Kick players: /kick PLAYERNAME
• Ban players: /ban PLAYERNAME
• Check player permissions: /mypermissions
• Change time of day: /time DAY/NIGHT

For a complete list of commands, refer to the Necesse Wiki.

You now have the keys to your settlement! You've learned how to use your Owner status to appoint Admins and Moderators, giving you complete control over who does what in your community. You're now fully equipped to protect your island from troublemakers, run server events, and build a great, well-managed world for your friends.
