admin on my server

How do I put admin mode on the rented server? I tried to put a steam id and I still can't. Can you give me an example?

SCUM Admin Guide – How to Add Yourself as an Admin

This guide walks you through the full process of giving yourself (and others) admin access on a SCUM server using the SCUM.db file.

IMPORTANT: Back Up Your Database Before Editing

Before you make any changes to your SCUM.db file:

1. Create a backup copy of the original file you downloaded from the server.
   • Right-click the file and choose Copy, then Paste it in the same folder.
   • Rename it to something like:SCUM_backup.db
2. This ensures you can restore your server to its previous state if something goes wrong.

Never edit your only copy of the database — always work from a backup!

• DB Browser for SQLite – Free tool to edit your server’s database.
• FTP Client (e.g., FileZilla or WinSCP) – To access your server files.
• Your Steam64 ID – Find it at steamid.io.

4. Click the “Execute” button.

   or use the Save icon.

it is possible the file you did the edit on had a bug in it. Try adding your old db file back and see if the issue persist.
