Granting someone admin

1. Getting the player ID

Firstly, make sure your admin logs are enabled ! How so ? By adding -adminlog in your server launch options.

P.S. You can also find this id from the dayzserver_timedate_timedate.rpt logs but will be a lot more messy.

Now your server should generate new logs files in ADM format in your server profile (or config) folder

You will be able to get Player IDs from this file. However to see the player id of someone, this player must have joined the server while this launch option was active !

Here is a example of what you should find :

2. Granting the player admin role

Now that you have found where to found the player ID, go to :

YourDayZServer\Profile(or config)\PermissionFramework\Players\

You should see one or multiple files with players IDs. Open the file with the player ID you saw in the ADM logs and you should have something similar :

Change everyone to admin and save. Now this player have the admin role ingame !

Setting up permisisons

Disclaimer, this part is more advanced and does not require you to do the following steps to have a functionnal server and/or admin tool

1. How do permissions works ?

• 0 (INHERIT) It will gain the permission value of the next parent permission which is not inherit. So if you have Admin.Player.Set set to INHERIT and Admin set to ALLOW then Admin.Player.Set will be ALLOW but if you had Admin.Player set to DISALLOW as well then Admin.Player.Set is now DISALLOW.
• 1 (DISALLOW) No access
• 2 (ALLOW) Full access

2. How to add specific permissions to a user ?

In ServerProfile\PermissionsFramework\Permissions open the file with the GUID of the user you want to edit his permissions.

Setting up roles

Disclaimer, this part is more advanced and does not require you to do the following steps to have a functionnal server and/or admin tool

In ServerProfile\PermissionsFramework\Roles create a txt file with the name of your role. In this example we will create a moderator.txt file.

Open the everyone.txt file, copy all it's content and paste it inside your new file (moderator.txt).

Now change the permissions to your liking !

If you want to assign someone with this role, simply add the file name in his Roles like you did with admin previously !

Troubleshooting

I only see vanilla vehicles in my spawnlist !

Go inside your server config at YourDayZServer\Profile(or config)\ and delete the CommunityOnlineTool folder. It will force the admin tool to regenerate the list !

I can't open some menus in my admin tool !

Go inside your server config at YourDayZServer\Profile(or config)\PermissionFramework\Roles\ and delete (or rename) the everyone.txt and admin.txt files. It will force the admin tool to regenerate the files and up to date!
