The in-game admin tools come from your framework, and you grant them yourself. VORP keeps admin in your server's database, and a small .sql file sets it. RSGCore takes three lines in your server.cfg. Neither needs txAdmin.
No Cfx.re account linked: your server runs without txAdmin. Type in the Console card's command box and press Enter.
Cfx.re account linked: your server runs txAdmin. Press Open txAdmin and type in its Live Console. New to it? See Manage your server with txAdmin.
Permission changes typed there last until the next restart. Anything that should stay goes in your server.cfg: open the Files card, then server-data/server.cfg. That file is yours. Haptic never overwrites it, and your server reads it every time it starts.
VORP's own documentation says admin lives in the database: the group column must say admin in both the users and characters tables. VORP's commands only work in game, so a small file does it instead, and you only need your character's name.
Join your server once and create your character, so your rows exist in the database.
Make a text file named make-me-admin.sql with these two lines, using your character's exact first and last name in place of Jane and Doe:
UPDATE users SET `group` = 'admin' WHERE identifier IN (SELECT identifier FROM characters WHERE firstname = 'Jane' AND lastname = 'Doe');
UPDATE characters SET `group` = 'admin' WHERE firstname = 'Jane' AND lastname = 'Doe';Upload it to server-data/sql/ on the Files card.
Restart your server with the Power buttons. Your server imports the file once, while it starts. The full guide is Import SQL files into your server's database.
As an admin you can then give others a group in game with /addGroup [id] [group].
Your identifier is fivem: followed by your Cfx.re ID, a number. RedM uses the same Cfx.re accounts as FiveM. There are two ways to find it.
In the console: type list_principals. RedM adds the Cfx.re account that owns your server's license key to the admin group by itself, so one line is there that you never added, such as identifier.fivem:1234567 <- group.admin. If you made the license key on your own Cfx.re account, that number is yours.
On Cfx.re: open forum.cfx.re/my/summary, expand your account info and copy the digits after fivem:. It is the same number Haptic asks for when you link a Cfx.re account.
This identifier is yours whenever you play signed in to your Cfx.re account.
Add these three lines to the end of server-data/server.cfg, with your own number in place of 1234567:
add_ace rsgcore.god command allow
add_principal identifier.fivem:1234567 rsgcore.god
add_principal identifier.fivem:1234567 rsgcore.adminThe first line lets gods use every command, as RSGCore's own setup does.
Restart your server with the Power buttons. Then type this, with your number:
test_ace identifier.fivem:1234567 adminIt answers identifier.fivem:1234567 -> admin = true. In game, type /adminmenu to open the admin menu.
Typing add_principal in the console works only until the next restart.
Adding yourself as a txAdmin admin does not make you an in-game admin: txAdmin and the in-game tools are separate systems.
Editing haptic.cfg does not stick: Haptic writes it fresh at every start, and your lines belong in server.cfg.
A command that starts with / fails in the console with No such command.
Message us on Discord with your server name, your framework, and what the console printed.
