FAQ
How do I remove an admin from my CS2 server?
You can remove an admin by using the command css_deleteadmin "SteamID" in the server console.
What is the SteamID used for?
The SteamID identifies the player account that will receive admin privileges on your Counter-Strike 2 server.
What do admin flags do?
Admin flags determine what permissions an admin has, such as kicking players, banning users, or changing maps.
Can I create temporary admins?
Yes. When using the css_addadmin command, you can set the number of minutes for the admin access instead of using 0 for permanent access.
I installed the MiniAdmin (BaseAdmin) why it’s not working?
Make sure you have MetaMod and CSSharp installed, without those the plugin won’t work.
