RUST /// How do I add an administrator

To add an administrator or moderator, you have two options

The first option is implemented when the server is running 

  1. Open the web console from the main menu
  2. enter the ownerid "SteamID64" without quotes
  3. now use the server.writecfg command to write the new settings
  4. disconnect and reconnect to the server

Second option with the server off

  1. Shut down the server
  2. In the main menu click on Configuration files
  3. For the file "users.cfg" click on "Text Editor"
  4. Now you can add either an administrator/owner or a moderator in the following format
    ownerid "SteamID64"
    moderatorid "SteamID64"
  5. So the result looks like this 
    ownerid 76561198076378788
    moderatorid 76561198076377878
  6. Start the server
