How to authenticate as admin in-game


You don't have to authenticate with the admin password if you've added yourself successfully to the whitelist.

  1. Open the console (default key TAB)
  2. Enter the following without quotes: "enablecheats ServerAdminPassword"
  3. You are now admin and ready to issue admin commands
