# Adding an Admin to your ARMA 3 Server

Information on how to add an Admin to your ARMA 3 Server

## Summary

Adding an administrator to your **Arma 3** server gives that player permission to perform administrative actions, manage server settings, and execute all available commands.

This is especially useful for server owners who want to modify missions during gameplay or moderate and remove disruptive players.

## Adding an Admin

You can assign an admin by configuring the appropriate property in the **Arma 3 Server Config** file found in your **ChipHead Control Panel**.

1.  Log in to your **ChipHead Control Panel** and stop your server.

    ```javascript
    admins[]={};
    ```
    
4.  Enter the player’s **SteamID64** inside the brackets. The format should look like this:
    
    ```javascript
    admins[]={123456789};
    ```
