Staff Authorization


While the adminlogin command is useful for temporary sessions, a professional server requires a persistent admin list. By whitelisting your PlayFab ID, you and your staff will automatically gain administrative powers every time you connect, without needing to remember a password.

1. Retrieving Member IDs

Mordhau uses PlayFab IDs (not SteamID64) for internal server administration.
  1. Connect to your server.
  2. Open the console (~) and type playerlist.
  3. Locate the player you want to authorize and copy their long ID string.

2. Editing the Whitelist

  1. Navigate to /Mordhau/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/.
  2. Open (or create) Admins.txt.
  3. Paste the PlayFab IDs, one per line:
    76561198000000001
    76561198000000002
    
  4. Save the file and Restart the server.

Toggle Admin

Once whitelisted, you may still need to activate your administrative powers in-game to access the management menus. Use the console command toggleadmin to enable your staff status after joining.
