Granting admin rights to trusted friends and moderators allows them to manage player vehicles, kick disruptive drivers, and ban griefers on your BeamNG.drive (BeamMP) server.
This guide will show you how to add admins and moderators to your BeamMP server on Cubes Hosting.
Step 1: Get the Player's BeamMP Username
Before granting admin privileges, you need the player's exact BeamMP username.
- Ask your moderator for their BeamMP account username (the username they use when logging into the BeamMP launcher).
- Alternatively, look at your server Console when the player connects to copy their exact username string.
Step 2: Configure Roles in ServerConfig.toml
BeamMP allows you to define roles (such as Admins and Owners) inside your server configuration file:
- Log in to your Cubes Hosting Game Panel and select your BeamMP server.
- Open the File Manager on the left menu.
- Click on
ServerConfig.tomlto edit it. - Scroll down to the
[Roles]section (or create it if it does not exist):(Be sure to format usernames as comma-separated strings inside square brackets).[Roles] Admins = ["YourUsername", "ModeratorUsername1", "ModeratorUsername2"] - Click Save Content.
Step 3: Useful In-Game Admin Commands
Once added to the Admins list, admins can type commands into the in-game chat bar (T key):
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/kick <player> [reason] | Kicks a player off the server immediately. |
/ban <player> [reason] | Permanently bans a player from your server. |
/unban <player> | Removes a player from the server ban list. |
/whitelist add <player> | Adds a player to the server whitelist (if whitelist is enabled). |
/whitelist remove <player> | Removes a player from the whitelist. |
Step 4: Restart Your Server
- Go to your server Console and click Restart.
- Once the server reboots, your new admins will have full moderation privileges!
Pro-Tip: Advanced Moderation (CobaltEssentials)
If you run a large public server and want advanced features like custom player ranks, vehicle spawn limits, teleportation commands, and temporary bans, install the CobaltEssentials mod framework for BeamMP. It provides a complete player management and rank system similar to LuckPerms!
Conclusion
Adding admins to your BeamMP server keeps your racing community safe and enjoyable. Add usernames to ServerConfig.toml, restart your server, and delegate moderation duties with confidence!
