# Setting Up ULX and ULib for Garry’s Mod Administration

Guide on ULX/ULib for GMOD

The **ULX Admin System** is one of the most widely used administration tools for **Garry’s Mod**. It provides powerful yet easy-to-use features for managing your server, including **user permissions**, **group management**, and **custom commands**. Paired with **ULib**, ULX gives server owners complete control and flexibility over moderation and gameplay settings.

**Note:** You can also install ULX via a **Steam Workshop Collection**. Check out our guide on **Adding a Steam Workshop Collection to a Garry’s Mod Server** for instructions.
