# How to Configure Admin Permissions in Alt:V

> Master administrative control on your Alt:V server. Learn how to implement management systems and configure player permissions using ID-based logic.

## Managing Your Alt:V Environment

Alt:V is a high-performance, developer-centric platform for Grand Theft Auto V. Unlike traditional multiplayer modifications, the Alt:V core does not include a proprietary administrative command system by default. To manage your community effectively, you must implement a dedicated administrative resource or custom scripting logic tailored to your specific needs.

## Implementing Administrative Controls

Because Alt:V provides the engine rather than the gameplay logic, permissions are almost exclusively managed through external resources or integrated database systems.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select an Admin Framework">
    Acquire a community-vetted administrative menu or management system from the [alt:V Hub](https://hub.altv.mp/) or official GitHub repositories (e.g., `altv-admin-menu`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy the Resource">
    Upload the resource folder into your server's `/resources/` directory using the [Game Panel](https://panel.freakhosting.com) File Manager or an SFTP client.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register the Script">
    Ensure the resource is active by adding its exact name to the `resources` array within your `server.toml` (or `server.cfg`) configuration file.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grant Administrative Rights">
    Navigate to the configuration file inside your selected admin resource (typically a `.json`, `.toml`, or `.yaml` file) and input your **Social Club ID** or **Steam ID** into the authorized administrators list.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Identifying Unique Identifiers

Most Alt:V management scripts identify players based on their unique Social Club (Rockstar) ID or Discord ID.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Social Club ID">
    This ID is the primary identifier in the Alt:V environment. You can identify your own ID by checking the server console logs immediately upon connection or by using a developer resource that prints your ID in-game.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Database Integration">
    For larger servers, permissions are often stored in a MySQL or MongoDB database. In these cases, you will need to manually edit your user entry in the database to elevate your permission level (e.g., setting `rank` to `admin` or `99`).
  </Tab>

<Warning>
  ### Security Precaution

  Never share your administrative credentials or unique IDs publicly. also, ensure that any management resource you install is from a trusted source, as scripts with administrative access have full control over your server environment and data.
</Warning>

## Technical Considerations

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Scripted Permissions vs. ACE">
    While FiveM uses an ACE system, Alt:V relies entirely on the logic defined within your active resources. If a command like `/kick` isn't working, the issue resides within the resource's permission check logic, not the server's core configuration.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Developer Mode">
    For local development and testing, you can often bypass permission checks by setting your server to "Debug Mode" in the configuration, though this should **never** be enabled on a live production server.
  </Accordion>
