Adding Admins (SourceMod)
SourceMod has as very detailed and flexible administration system, and it can be quite daunting to users. To simplify things, there are a number of "flags" which specify generic permissions administrators can have.
Aside from that, there are (currently) two provided ways of storing admins. One via a simplified flat file, and another via a more complex tree-based file.
Note: As of this writing, only steam-based authentication is enabled.
Levels
First, let's quickly run down the provided levels:
Name Flag Purpose reservation a Reserved slot access. generic b Generic admin; required for admins. kick c Kick other players. ban d Ban other players. unban e Remove bans. slay f Slay/harm other players. map g Change the map or major gameplay features. cvar h Change most cvars. config i Execute config files. chat j Special chat privileges. vote k Start or create votes. password l Set a password on the server. rcon m Use RCON commands. cheats m Change sv_cheats or use cheating commands. root z Magically enables all flags.
Immunity
There is no immunity flag. Instead, there are three types of immunity:
- Default immunity; immunity from admins who do not have default immunity.
- Global immunity; immunity from admins who do not have global or default immunity.
- Specific immunity; immunity from a specific group (see advanced section).
Simple Admins
The easiest way to add administrators is through configs/admins_simple.ini. This is a flat file which requires two parameters per line: authentication info, and flags.
Three examples are provided:
"STEAM_0:1:16" "bce" //kick, ban, slay for this steam ID "127.0.0.1" "z" //all permissions for this ip "BAILOPAN" "abc" "Gab3n" //name BAILOPAN, password "Gab3n": gets reservation, kick, ban
