Setting Up Player Permissions on Your Garry’s Mod Server

Guide on player permissions

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.

Setting Up Player Permissions

Follow these steps to assign admin permissions using the ChipHead Panel and console:

  1. Launch Garry’s Mod and connect to your server.

  2. Log in to your ChipHead Panel.

  3. Go to the Console tab.

  4. Enter the following command:

    ulx adduser [Username] superadmin

    Replace [Username] with your Steam username.

Configuring Player Permission Groups ⚙

  1. In-game, open the ULX menu by typing !menu in chat or by binding a key to it.

  2. Go to the Groups tab.

  3. Open the dropdown menu and select Manage Groups.

  4. Use the chart below as a guide for managing and creating new groups:
