View source for Adding Admins (AMX Mod X)

=Admins (non-SQL)=
==Adding an Admin==
First, open the amxmodx/configs/users.ini file with your favorite text editor.  Scroll to the bottom.  Admin entries are stored with four options: Authentication, Password, Access Right, Connection Properties.

In the early days of [[Half-Life 1]] it was common to have admins authenticate by name.  However, now it is recommended to auth by steamid.  An example of a typical admin entry is:
<pre>"STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"</pre>
Entries are one-per-line, and each of the four options are space separated, contained in double-quotes.  This one means:
#The user has [[SteamID]] STEAM_0:0:123456
#The user has no password (steamid-authentication)
#Access rights are levels <tt>a</tt> through <tt>u</tt>
#The user is a steamid ("c") and has no password ("e")

It is also possible to authenticate by username:
<pre>"BAILOPAN" "mypass" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "a"</pre>

To authenticate, BAILOPAN would put this in his client's autoexec.cfg, where "_pw" is the value of "amx_password_field" in [[amxx.cfg]].
<pre>setinfo "_pw" "mypass"</pre>

For information on what access levels mean, see [[#Access Levels|Access Levels]].

{{qnotice|It is important that you do not use the 'z' flag for admins because that's the non-admin flag.}}

==Removing an Admin==
Find the admin's entry in your amxmodx/configs/users.ini file, and put a semicolon in front of it.  For example:
<pre>;"STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"</pre>

That will prevent the entry from being read.

=Admins (SQL)=
AMX Mod X lets you store admin accounts in a MySQL database.  This is ideal if you have multiple servers with common administrators.

==Configuring Server==
First, make sure you have configured your server for SQL by reading [[Configuring AMX Mod X#SQL|Configuring AMX Mod X: SQL]].  Then, enable the admin_sql.amxx plugin instead of admin.amxx, by opening amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini.  You should change the first two entries to look something like this:
<pre>;admin.amxx ; Disabled 
admin_sql.amxx ; SQL admins</pre>

==Maintaining Admins==

Once the server loads for the first time, it will automatically create the table specified with <tt>amx_sql_table</tt>.

You can either add an admin through an SQL tool like an SQL Console or phpMyAdmin, or you can add an admin [[Adding Admins (AMX Mod X)#Console Command|using amx_addadmin]].  

If you choose to use SQL directly (or an interface), you must learn the table layout.  There are four columns, each corresponding to one of the four properties listed above in [[#Adding an Admin|Adding an Admin]].  For example:
<pre>INSERT INTO admins VALUES("STEAM_0:1:23456", "", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu", "ce");</pre>

{{qnotice|It is important that you do not use the 'z' flag for admins.}}

=Console Command=

You can also use the console command amx_addadmin for adding admins.  It will work for both [[SQL]] and users.ini, depending on which plugin you have enabled.  An example of using the command in-game:
<pre>amx_addadmin "BAILOPAN" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu"</pre>
Using the command from the server/[[rcon]] console:
<pre>amx_addadmin "STEAM_0:1:23456" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu"</pre>

=Access Levels=
These access levels are the default access levels for the base [[AMX Mod X]] plugins.  3rd party plugins may have different usages for them, although in general users try to stick to the intentions for each flag.
