How to Add Admins to Your FiveM Server

After creating that perfect FiveM Server you’ve always wanted, managing it can be a whole other challenge. Having extra support helps out – so adding admins is the right call. They can enforce rules, manage players, help change settings, and so much more. By giving others specific permissions, you lighten the load while building a stronger community. Whether you have small or large groups of players, admins will ensure your server stays safe and guarded.
 
In this guide, let’s breakdown the process to add admins to your FiveM server 🔥

Why Admins?

If you want trusted players to help manage your FiveM server, then admins are a must-have. Although, they don’t necessarily have to be administrators! You can have moderators or helpers just to name a few staff roles. It all boils down to the type of permissions you grant them. They can have all of them or only a select few – your call.

Adding Admins in a FiveM Server

1. Navigate to your txAdmin panel and login with the default credentials from Nitrado.

2. Select “Admins” at the top of your dashboard, then click the +Add button.

3. Proceed to enter a Username and the player’s Cfx.re ID, plus Discord ID if you want.

4. Continue to choose the permission(s) you want for the admin account.

5. Click the Save button at the bottom, then provide the temporary password to the admin.
   

   *The new admin will create a different password upon logging in for the first time.
   They can login with their Cfx.re account or the Username and Password.

Warning: Admin Abuse

Only give admin rights to people you 100% trust. Abusive admins can:

• Grief or ban legit players
• Install harmful resources
• Leak IPs or sensitive data
• Damage your server’s reputation

Always keep a backup of your config files and monitor logs for suspicious activity.

Common Issues

Cannot login with the Cfx.re account
After creating a new admin account on your txAdmin panel, ensure that you’ve entered a valid Cfx.re ID. This is required for them to login with their account, rather than using the username and password. For reference, it’s their forum username when they first signed up with Cfx.re. Simply edit the existing admin account and add the correct Cfx.re ID.
 
I do not have complete access
In the case you created a new admin account for yourself, make sure to check mark the “All Permissions” option. This will grant you complete access to everything, just like the default account. You don’t need to select all the options, but you can if you want to 100% guarantee access.

FiveM Server Management

Giving admin access is just one piece of running a successful FiveM server. Great management means combining the right permissions with trusted players. Build a team of admins, mods, or other staff members to ensure your FiveM server operates smoothly. Safety and security are top priorities! With features like live console control, performance tracking, and one-click restarts, txAdmin gives you full visibility and power over your server.
 
Make smart admin choices, stay consistent with your rules, and watch your FiveM community thrive 👏
