serveradmin.xml

Specifying admins and restrictions requires user ID lookups on platforms that users are on. Recommendation is to modify only through console commands.

Users

User ID

SteamID64 is required (e.g. 76561198021925107) for user ID. Steam ID may be retrieved from any of the following:

Input the player's name in the search field or steam page URL.

# Easier to look in server logs to obtain user ID's for non-steam users.
tail -F /home/steam/seven_days_to_die/output_log__*.txt

grep -i {PLAYER} ~/.local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves/.../players.xml

Or via the built-in web console.

Permission levels

A user may run any command equal to or above their permission level. Users not given a permission level in this file will have a default permission level of 1000 (no privileges).

0 effectively grants the specified user root access.

Options

users

<users>
<user platform="Steam" userid="76561198021925107" name="Name" permission_level="0" />
<group steamID="103582791434672565" name="All steam users (Steam Universe)" permission_level_default="1000" permission_level_mod="0" />
</users>

whitelist

Enabling whitelisting will disable blacklisting. Nobody can join that ISN'T in the whitelist or admins once whitelist only mode is enabled.

Name is optional for display purposes only.

<whitelist>
<user platform="" userid="" name="" />
<group steamID="" name="" />
</whitelist>

blacklist

Name is optional for display purposes only.

<blacklist>
<blacklisted platform="" userid="" name="" unbandate="" reason="" />
</blacklist>

commands

Commands use permissions levels.

  • Commands are granted access by all levels above the assigned permission.
  • Commands not specified have default permission level 0 (root access).
