How to Add Admins to Ark Server
Adding admins to your Ark server can be essential for managing and moderating your gameplay experience. Admins have special privileges that allow them to enforce rules, resolve disputes, and ensure a smooth gaming environment. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to add admins to your Ark server:
Step 1: Connect to your server
Launch the game and go to the main menu. Click on “Join Ark” and select your server from the list. Log in using your admin account credentials.
Step 2: Enable admin privileges
Once you’re in the game, press the Tab key to open the console. Type “enablecheats [adminpassword]” (replace [adminpassword] with your server’s admin password) and press Enter. This will grant you admin privileges.

In the console, type “admincheat MakeTribeAdmin [playername]” (replace [playername] with the player’s in-game name) to promote them to admin status. They will now have access to admin commands.
Step 4: Verify admin status
To verify if a player has admin privileges, type “admincheat ShowMyAdminManager” in the console. This will display a list of all current admins on the server.
