Is it possible to have a file the server reads that includes SteamIDs to auto whitelist specific people as admins instead of having to enter the password each time? (yes I know, I am lazy lol)

 

I came across this in a ARK Guide in steam, no idea if its accurate and I haven't tested it -

 

Whitelisting an Admin
This allows you to use commands without needing to login as Admin.

Create a file in the directory \ShooterGame\Saved\ called AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt
It should look like this \ShooterGame\Saved\AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt

From here, list on each line the Steam64 ID's you wish to authorize for cheat commands, these users will be able to cheat without logging in as Admin.

In ARK if I remember right you should be able to set a pass code on doors and chest so only you can open them. Not sure if there is anyway to do this within the file system.

It's a good thing to note too, and an easier way to handle your admin commands while in game, after you have logged in as an admin correctly is to do this.  

 

Open your console with the tab button.

 

Then type in ShowMyAdminManager

 

By doing this, it will open on your screen your admin manager for the server.   From here, you can set your welcome message, and do any of the admin functions by clicking on the player you are going to use, click on the admin command, then execute.  Sometimes, another box will pop up asking you for player ID, or Player name.   Player name is obvious, but the id, you can click copy ID button and the player you selected before choosing the command will allow you to automatically insert their ID.    Then you can click continue, or execute.   I can't remember what button it is in that new box. 

 

It's definitely a helpful feature they implemented in ark for us admins.   Good luck!

Another way to use the cheat commands is to put a file called AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt  in the ShooterGame\Saved directory with a list Steam IDs you want to be admins, one per line.

This way you don't have to put enablecheats <yourpass> every time you log in.
