How to Add Admins on Your The Isle Evrima Server

Last updated: August 17, 2026

This guide shows you how to grant admin privileges on your The Isle Evrima server so trusted players can manage the server. Admins are configured in the Game.ini file — the main configuration file for your server — using each admin's SteamID64 (the long numeric ID for a Steam account).

Important: Evrima has no in-game admin console like the Legacy branch had. All admin actions are performed through RCON — see the How to Use RCON guide.

Step 1: Find the Player's SteamID64

Your SteamID64 is a unique 17-digit number permanently tied to your Steam account — it always starts with 7656. You can look it up at steamid.io by pasting the player's Steam profile URL. Make sure you copy the steamID64 value, not the shorter steamID3.

Step 2: Edit Game.ini to Add Admins

Game.ini is the main configuration file for your server. Follow these steps to add admins:

  1. Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/ and select your server.
  2. Stop your server first — this is important so the server doesn't overwrite your changes when it shuts down.
  3. In the left sidebar, click File Manager.
  4. Navigate to TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini. This is where the game stores its configuration files on Linux servers.
  5. Locate (or add) the [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase] section.
  6. Add one AdminsSteamIDs= line per admin beneath that section header, pasting each admin's SteamID64 after the equals sign:
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198000000001
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198000000005
  1. Save the file.
  2. Go back to the Console tab and start your server so the new admins take effect.
Important: Always stop your server before editing configuration files. Changes made while the server is running may be overwritten on shutdown. After saving, start your server again to apply the changes.

Use Admin Privileges via RCON

Once added as admin, the player can connect to the server's RCON and run admin commands. Evrima has no in-game admin console — all admin actions go through RCON. See the How to Use RCON guide for the full command reference.

VIPs (Queue Bypass)

VIPs can bypass the join queue when the server is full, but they do not get admin powers. Add them under the same section:

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
VIPs=76561198000000001
VIPs=76561198000000005

Use VIPs for donors or trusted regulars who should always be able to join even on packed servers. See the How to Add VIPs guide for details.

Common Issues

ProblemFix
Admin can't run RCON commandsVerify the SteamID64 is correct (17 digits) and that RCON is enabled (bRconEnabled=true).
Steam ID looks wrongUse steamid.io to convert from the profile URL — copy steamID64, not steamID3.
Server overwrote my editsAlways stop the server before editing — Evrima rewrites configs on shutdown.
