Introduction to Unturned Administration

Effectively managing an Unturned server requires knowledge of essential admin commands and understanding permission systems. This guide covers the most important commands and tools for server administrators on Wasabi Hosting.

Basic Permission Systems

Unturned offers several ways to manage admin permissions on your Wasabi Hosting server:

Vanilla
Rocket
OpenMod

The built-in permission system is basic but sufficient for small servers.Permission Levels:

Admin - Full server control
Moderator - Limited administrative abilities
Guest - Regular player

This system is configured in the Admins.dat and Mods.dat files.

Rocket is the most popular permission framework, offering:

Group-based permissions
Permission inheritance
Comprehensive command system
Plugin support

Rocket permissions are defined in the Permissions.config.xml file.

Setting Up Vanilla Permissions

To add administrators or moderators to your server:

Find the player’s Steam64 ID using a service like SteamID.io
Add the ID to the appropriate file:

For administrators, edit /Servers/YourServerName/Server/Admins.dat:

// Format: One Steam64 ID per line
76561198012345678
76561198087654321

For moderators, edit /Servers/YourServerName/Server/Mods.dat:

// Format: One Steam64 ID per line
76561198012345678
76561198087654321

After editing these files, restart your server for the changes to take effect.

Vanilla Admin Commands

These commands are available in the base game for administrators:

Server Management

/shutdown [seconds]                 // Shutdown the server
/save                               // Force a server save

Item Commands

/give <player> <itemID> [amount]    // Give an item
/vehicle <vehicleID>                // Spawn a vehicle
/item <itemID> [amount]             // Give yourself an item

Moderation Commands

/duty                               // Show as on admin duty (name color)
/logs                               // View recent server logs
/poll <question>                    // Start a poll

Rocket Admin System

If you’re using Rocket (recommended for more control), you’ll have access to more powerful commands and permission management.

Installing Rocket

Download Rocket from the official repository
Extract the files to your server’s root directory
Restart your server
Configure permissions in /Rocket/Permissions.config.xml

Rocket Permission Structure

<RocketPermissions>
  <DefaultGroup>default</DefaultGroup>
  <Groups>
    <Group>
      <Id>default</Id>
      <DisplayName>Player</DisplayName>
      <Color>white</Color>
      <Permissions />
    </Group>
    <Group>
      <Id>moderator</Id>
      <DisplayName>Moderator</DisplayName>
      <Color>yellow</Color>
      <Permissions>
        <Permission>rocket.tp</Permission>
        <Permission>rocket.tphere</Permission>
        <Permission>rocket.heal</Permission>
        <Permission>rocket.kick</Permission>
      </Permissions>
    </Group>
    <Group>
      <Id>admin</Id>
      <DisplayName>Admin</DisplayName>
      <Color>red</Color>
      <ParentGroup>moderator</ParentGroup>
      <Permissions>
        <Permission>rocket.*</Permission>
      </Permissions>
    </Group>
  </Groups>
</RocketPermissions>

The ParentGroup element creates permission inheritance, so admins automatically get all moderator permissions.

User Management in Rocket

To add a user to a group, edit /Rocket/Permissions.config.xml and add:

<Players>
  <Player>
    <Id>76561198012345678</Id>
    <DisplayName>AdminName</DisplayName>
    <Group>admin</Group>
  </Player>
</Players>

    <Command delay="10">save</Command>
    <Command>say Server saved successfully</Command>
  </Commands>
</AutoCommands>

This will run the specified commands every 300 seconds (5 minutes)

Troubleshooting Permission Issues

If commands aren’t working on your Wasabi Hosting Unturned server:

Check syntax - Commands are case-sensitive
Verify permissions - Make sure the user has the correct permissions
Check plugin compatibility - Some plugins conflict with each other
Look at logs - Check /Rocket/Logs/ for error messages
Test in single-player - Try the command in a single player game
Restart the server - Permission changes often require a restart

By understanding these commands and permission systems, you’ll be equipped to effectively manage your Unturned server on Wasabi Hosting. If you need further assistance, contact our support team.
