HOW TO ADD RUST MODERATORS

July 24, 2018October 7, 2021 - by dg


ADD RUST MODERATORS TO A SERVER

If you find yourself looking to add RUST moderators, look no further.  Similar
to removing moderators from a RUST server, adding them is a straightforward
task.

When adding the RUST moderator status to a player that is actively connected,
they will be required to reconnect to the server. Kicking them is often a quick
way to ensure they reconnect. After you’ve granted a specific user the moderator
role, they will connect by default under “auth level 1.”

The moderator role is nearly identical to the admin role, with very little
difference. First, adding and removing moderators uses a different console
command. Moderators also do not have the ability to add and remove other admins
or moderators but can use all server commands and user interface controls
available when pressing the F1 key. In addition, they can elevate themselves to
admins, which effectively makes this role nearly useless for security purposes.

Here are 3 options for adding moderators to your RUST server:

 1. Using the in-game console
 2. Using a 3rd party RCON tool
 3. Manually updating the server’s user.cfg file


ADD RUST MODERATORS USING THE IN-GAME CONSOLE


THERE ARE 3 REQUIREMENTS FOR USING THE IN-GAME CONSOLE

 * You must be in the game and connected to the RUST server
 * You must already have auth level 2 (admin) status
 * You must have the user’s 64-bit Steam ID


IN ORDER TO ADD A RUST MODERATOR USING THE IN-GAME CONSOLE

 1. Open the in-game console by pressing F1 on your keyboard
 2. Then type into the console the following command in and press
    enter moderatorid "64bit_steamid_here"
 3. Then follow up with this command to save the server’s user.cfg file
    server.writecfg
 4. If the user is online during this process, they must reconnect before their
    moderator abilities are available. A quick kick can help speed up the
    process!


ADD RUST MODERATORS USING A 3RD PARTY RCON TOOL


THERE ARE 3 REQUIREMENTS FOR USING A 3RD PARTY RCON TOOL

 * Your server must have enabled RCON
 * You must have access to the RCON command line
 * You must have the user’s 64-bit Steam ID


IN ORDER TO ADD A RUST MODERATOR USING A 3RD PARTY RCON TOOL

 1. Open and login to the RCON tool
 2. Navigate to the RCON tool’s command line
 3. Then type into the console the following command in and press
    enter moderatorid "64bit_steamid_here"
 4. Then follow up with the following command to save the server’s user.cfg file
    server.writecfg
 5. If the user is online during this process, they must reconnect before their
    moderator abilities are available. A quick kick can help speed up the
    process!


ADD RUST MODERATORS USING THE SERVER’S USER.CFG FILE


THERE ARE 2 REQUIREMENTS FOR USING THE SERVER’S USER.CFG FILE

 * Your RUST server must not be running, as the file will be locked and in use
 * You must have access to the server’s file system, whether through SSH, FTP or
   a web portal


IN ORDER TO ADD A RUST MODERATOR USING THE SERVER’S USER.CFG FILE

 1. Connect to your server’s file system in your preferred method.
 2. Locate the users.cfg file, found in /server/<your_servers_identity>/cfg/
 3. Open the file and add a new line item containing the following
    moderatorid "64bit_steamid_here" "optional_name" "optional_reason"
 4. Save the file and restart your server


IN SUMMARY

Regardless of how you wish to add RUST moderators, there are a plethora of ways
in which to do so. Many methods require using the user’s 64-bit SteamID, which
is easily obtainable using https://steamid.io.



Happy moderating!
