How to Become Admin / Owner on Rust Console Edition Servers

Managing your players or teleporting around the map means that you need to become an admin or owner on your Rust Console Edition server. Whether you’re on Xbox or PlayStation, this process is simple and straightforward. It will only take a few minutes to set up! In this Nitrado guide, we’ll show you how to assign admin or owner permissions to accounts on your Rust Console server 👏
 
Note: We strongly recommend using a computer for this process, especially for those hosting their server on the Nitrado App from the Microsoft Store. You will need to access the Web Interface to become an admin or owner on your server.

Assigning Admin or Owner Permissions

1. Go to your Nitrado Web Interface, then click Tools > Live Server Console on the left.
   
2. Proceed to enter OwnerID “PlayerID” or AdminID “PlayerID” in the console.
   
   Replace PlayerID with an Xbox Gamertag or PlayStation Network ID.
3. Afterwards, Restart the server to apply these changes.

If you want to remove these permissions from an account, use the following command(s): RemoveAdmin “PlayerID” & RemoveOwner “PlayerID”. Make sure to give the server a restart after executing either one of those commands.
