When managing your Factorio server, you may need more players with admin privileges to be able to efficiently manage your server. This way, you will be able to have other admins that can help you run the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the steps of adding admins to your Factorio server using our intuitive game panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add admins to your server using your game server panel or manually using in-game commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u2714\ufe0f Give Admin Role Manually \u2714\ufe0f<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

            You can also give the admin role to a player via commands in-game or in your game server panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u26a0 NOTE<\/strong>\u26a0: Keep in mind that you will have to already be an admin to be able to promote someone in-game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            To promote a player to admin, you just need to use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \/promote username<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Replace the username<\/code> with the actual player’s username.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u26a0 NOTE<\/strong>\u26a0: To open the console in-game, just press the ~<\/code> key on your keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Once a player is promoted to the admin role, he will be able to use the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Command | Effect |\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
