How do I become in-game Admin on my ARK Server?

This is how you become an in-game Admin.

1. Copy Steam 64 ID* (Steam PC version only)
2. Alternative: Set Admin password in the GPORTAL web interface under “Basic Settings”
3. Enter your Steam 64 ID in the “Basic Settings” of the GPORTAL web interface
4. Save and restart the server
5. Connect to the server
6. Alternative: Send ‘enablecheats ADMINPASSWORD’ ingame through the console

On the PS4, just press OPTIONS -> L1+R1+Square+Triangle. A line appears where you enter the admin password from the basic settings.

Note: To prevent the abuse of admin commands, there is a feature called “Admin Logging” or “Admin Command Logging.” This feature displays commands used by admins in the chat so that all players can see them. You can enable or disable this feature on your server using a slider.
