    To assign admin or mod rights, you need the Steam64 ID (Steam) or EOS ID (Epic Store) of the respective user. To obtain the Steam64 ID, you can use the following web tool: https:\/\/steamid.io\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Enter the ID in this line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <user platform=\"Steam\" userid=\"YOUR STEAM\/EOS ID\" name=\"Hint on who this user is\" permission_level=\"0\" \/><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<!--\n   This file holds the settings for who is banned, whitelisted,\n   admins and server command permissions. The admin and whitelist sections can contain\n   both individual Steam users as well as Steam groups.\n\n   STEAM ID INSTRUCTIONS:\n   ===============================================================\n   You can find the SteamID64 of any user with one of the following pages:\n   https:\/\/steamdb.info\/calculator\/, https:\/\/steamid.io\/lookup, http:\/\/steamid.co\/\n   http:\/\/steamid.co\/ instructions:\n   Input the player's name in the search field. example: Kinyajuu\n   If the name doesn't work, you can also use the url of their steam page.\n   Also you may add\/remove admins, mods, whitelist, blacklist using in game commands.\n   You will want the STEAM64ID. example: 76561198021925107\n\n   STEAM GROUP ID INSTRUCTIONS:\n   ===============================================================\n   You can find the SteamID64 of any group by taking its address and adding\n     \/memberslistxml\/?xml=1\n   to the end. You will get the XML information of the group which should have an entry\n   memberList->groupID64.\n   Example: The 'Steam Universe' group has the address\n     https://steamcommunity.com\/groups\/steamuniverse\n   So you point your browser to\n     https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/groups\/steamuniverse\/memberslistxml\/?xml=1\n   And see that the groupID64 is 103582791434672565.\n\n\t  PERMISSION LEVEL INSTRUCTIONS:\n   ===============================================================\n   permission level : 0-1000, a user may run any command equal to or above their permission level.\n   Users not given a permission level in this file will have a default permission level of 1000!\n\n\t  COMMAND PERMISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS:\n   ===============================================================\n   cmd : This is the command name, any command not in this list will not be usable by anyone but the server.\n   permission level : 0-1000, a user may run any command equal to or above their permission level.\n   Commands not specified in this file will have a default permission level of 0!\n\n  EVERYTHING BETWEEN <!- - and - -> IS COMMENTED OUT!
