Information on how to add an Admin on your DayZ Server

Summary

Adding yourself as an admin on your DayZ server gives you full control over its settings and players. As an admin, you’ll be able to use a range of console commands to manage your server, restart missions, or moderate players by kicking or banning them when needed.
