How To Change Permissions Levels on a 7 Days To Die Server

First, we'll need to find the serveradmin.xml. If you're looking for a guide on how to make yourself an admin, please see our guide here How To Make Yourself Admin On Your 7 Days To Die Server.

In this guide

Finding the serveradmin.xml

The serveradmin.xml file can be found in the following directory within the File Manager. /Saves/

Note, that you'll need to boot the server atleast once for this file to show.

Setting Permission Levels

Now you can set the permission levels for every command. Look for the <command> section

Here you can seee the command list, and the permission levels. This is an example.

<permission cmd="chunkcache" permission_level="1000" />

If you set the user with a permission level 1000 they will be able to use the command. If you set the user with a permission level 999 they will not be able to use the command. Any user set with a permission over 1000 will also be able to use this command.

Setting Permission Levels of users

To set the levels of users, head to the <users> section. A example of a user is below.

<user platform="Steam" userid="76561198021925107" name="Hint on who this user is" permission_level="1000" />

As this user now has the permission level 1000, they will be able to use the command chunkcache. Make sure to change the userid to your own steam ID. If on how to find that can be found here How To Find Your Steam ID.
