Counter-Strike: Source server owners have a wide range of options for assigning admin roles to players. Each admin can be given specific permission levels that determine what commands they can use such as kicking or banning players, changing maps, adjusting configurations, or starting votes.
After deciding on each admin’s permission and immunity levels, you’ll need to add them to your admins_simple.ini file.
Log in to the ChipHead Panel
Stop your server.
Go to the Files tab.
Go to cstrike/addons/sourcemod/configs & open the “admins_simple.ini” file.
At the bottom of the file, add the player’s SteamID \ Name, immunity level, and permission flags using this format:
"<Steam ID/!IP/Steam name>" "<immunity level:><flags>"
Example’s
1. "STEAM_0:1:16" "bce" // generic, kick, unban for this steam ID, no immunity
2. "!127.0.0.1" "99:z" //all permissions for this ip, immunity value is 99
3. "BAILOPAN" "abc" "Gab3n" //name BAILOPAN, password "Gab3n": gets reservation, generic, kick
Save your changes and start your server.
When granting admin rights, you must assign permission flags that define what each admin can do. These flags can be customized per player, giving you full control over server management.
reservation | a | Reserved slot access. |
generic | b | Basic admin permission (required for all admins). |
kick | c | Kick other players. |
ban | d | Ban players. |
unban | e | Remove bans. |
slay | f | Slay or harm other players. |
changemap | g | Change the map or major gameplay settings. |
cvar | h | Modify most console variables. |
config | i | Execute configuration files. |
chat | j | Access special chat privileges. |
vote | k | Start or manage votes. |
password | l | Set a server password. |
rcon | m | Use RCON commands. |
cheats | n | Enable or use cheat commands. |
root | z | Grants all permissions and overrides immunity (use with caution). |
Immunity defines the hierarchy among admins. Each admin is given an “immunity value” — a number representing their authority level. Higher numbers mean more power. For example, if Admin A has an immunity of 3 and Admin B has 10, Admin B can run commands that affect Admin A, but not vice versa.
Admins with equal immunity can affect each other.
Admins with the root (z) flag bypass all immunity levels.
A value of 0 means no immunity.
