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:
"STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"
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 a through u
- The user is a steamid ("c") and has no password ("e")
It is also possible to authenticate by username:
"BAILOPAN" "mypass" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "a"
To authenticate, BAILOPAN would put this in his client's autoexec.cfg, where "_pw" is the value of "amx_password_field" in amxx.cfg.
setinfo "_pw" "mypass"
For information on what access levels mean, see [#Access Levels]].
Note: It is important that you do not use the 'z' flag for admins.
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:
;"STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"
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. 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:
;admin.amxx ; Disabled admin_sql.amxx ; SQL admins
Maintaining Admins
Once the server loads for the first time, it will automatically create the table specified with amx_sql_table.
You can either add an admin through an SQL tool like an SQL Console or phpMyAdmin, or you can add an admin 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. For example:
INSERT INTO admins VALUES("STEAM_0:1:23456", "", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu", "ce");
Note: It is important that you do not use the 'z' flag for admins.
For information on what access levels mean, see AMX Mod X Access Levels.
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:
amx_addadmin "BAILOPAN" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu"
Using the command from the server/rcon console:
amx_addadmin "STEAM_0:1:23456" "abcdefgihjklmnopqrstu"
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.
Access Flag Purpose a immunity (can't be kicked/baned/slayed/slaped and affected by other commmands) b reservation (can join on reserved slots) c amx_kick command d amx_ban and amx_unban commands e amx_slay and amx_slap commands f amx_map command g amx_cvar command (not all cvars will be available) h amx_cfg command i amx_chat and other chat commands j amx_vote and other vote commands k access to sv_password cvar (by amx_cvar command) l access to amx_rcon command and rcon_password cvar (by amx_cvar command) m custom level A (for additional plugins) n custom level B o custom level C p custom level D q custom level E r custom level F s custom level G t custom level H u menu access z user (no admin)
Connection Flags
These flags control how AMX Mod X attempts to authorize a connecting admin.
Connection Flag Purpose a disconnect player on invalid password b clan tag c this is steamid/wonid d this is ip e password is not checked (only name/ip/steamid needed)
