For quick and easy access to an in-game admin panel, the following steps will help you get access. However, you must also have your Steam64 ID inside the AdminUsers.ini file too.
- Log into the “
FTP File Access“ area from the server panel. - Navigate to this directory:
...SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer - Locate the
ServerSettingsAdminUsers.inifile and click “Edit“ on it.
- Proceed to enter your
Steam64 IDin the list, repeat for other accounts.

SCUM Admin Panel
Once you join the server, you’re able to access the admin panel directly from the menu. This allows you to perform various tasks, such as editing general options, zone configuration, spawning vehicles, and more. Keep in mind that certain changes require a server restart.
SCUM – Admin FAQ
You can use various third-party services to locate the Steam64 ID, but we suggest SteamID I/O. Enter your Steam Account Username in the search field and look it up. It will be a string of numbers, such as :76561197974383407. If you do not know your Steam Account Username, check your Steam Profile and look for the “/id/username” in the URL.
Make sure you entered the correct Steam64 ID in the AdminUsers.ini file, then save the changes and restart the server. Remember, you also need to manually add the commands for each admin using brackets. If you’re trying to use the admin panel, make sure you entered the Steam64 ID in both the AdminUsers.ini and ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini files.
For any changes made in the config files from the Apex server panel, make sure to save the changes and restart the server. For changes made in-game via the admin panel, simply restart the server after editing settings. If this problem persists, contact our Support Team for help.
