FAQ

• Where do I find my SteamID64?
  You can use websites like steamid.io or follow this guide to locate your SteamID64 easily.
  
• Can I add multiple admins?
  Yes, just add each SteamID64 on a new line in the AdminUsers.ini file.
  
• Do I need to restart the server after editing AdminUsers.ini?
  Yes. You need to stop the server before editing the file, and start it afterward to apply the changes.
  It’s possible to make the changes while the server is online but you will need to restart it for the changes to apply.
  
• Where is the AdminUsers.ini file located?
  You’ll find it under /SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer in your server’s file directory.
  
• How do I use admin commands once I’m added?
  Once in-game, press T to open the chat box, then use commands starting with # (e.g., #teleport, #spawnitem, etc.).
  
• Why aren’t the admin commands working?
  Ensure your SteamID64 was added correctly (double check for blank spaced), the file was saved, and the server was restarted. Also, make sure you are logged into the correct Steam account.
