When you have the ULX Admin System installed on your Garry’s Mod server, you gain access to a powerful set of tools that allow you to manage players, groups, and permissions directly in-game. ULX makes it easy to give players the exact level of control you want - whether that’s simple moderation privileges or full administrative powers.
Follow these steps to assign admin permissions using the ChipHead Panel and console:
Launch Garry’s Mod and connect to your server.
Log in to your ChipHead Panel.

Go to the Console tab.
Enter the following command:
ulx adduser [Username] superadminReplace [Username] with your Steam username.
The console will confirm once the command has been successfully executed.
