Becoming an admin on a Project Zomboid server can give you a lot of control over the gaming experience. Whether you want to manage the server, keep the peace, or just have a bit more fun, here's a step-by-step guide on how to become an admin on your own Project Zomboid server.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Write down or remember your Admin Password from the Basic Settings.
On the Join Game menu, enter your server details as usual but enter "Admin" as the username and your Admin password from Step 1.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues, consider the following:
- Double-check your admin password if you cannot log in as an admin. If you change it on the website, remember to restart the server to apply it to the server.
- Ensure you are using the correct server IP address and port number.
- If you are unable to grant admin rights to another player, confirm that their username is correct. The “” should go in the command.
