How to Add Admins in Arma Reforger: Step-by-Step Guide

Adding admins to your Arma Reforger server is essential for effective server management. This guide will show you how to add admins using the config.json file and ensure your server runs smoothly. Follow these steps to set up admins quickly and accurately.

Step 1: Get the Reforger ID

To add an admin to the config.json, you must first obtain their Reforger ID. You can do this in two ways:

• Using our RCON tool.
• Asking the admin to provide their Reforger ID directly.

Step 2: Open and Edit Your Config File

Access the config.json file by:

1. Pressing the Config Files button on the console page.
2. Locating the file via the File Manager.

Step 3: Add Admins in config.json

Locate the following line in your config.json file:

"admins": []

Admins can be added as shown below:

"admins": [
    "b19e4f02-fa86-40d4-b5f3-c1e192ba4ed2"
]

Adding Multiple Admins

To add multiple admins, use the following format. Ensure the last admin entry ends with " and not ", to maintain valid JSON syntax:

"admins": [
    "b19e4f02-fa86-40d4-b5f3-c1e192ba4ed2",
    "b19e4f02-fa86-40d4-b5f3-c1e192ba4ed2",
    "b19e4f02-fa86-40d4-b5f3-c1e192ba4ed2"
]

Step 4: Validate Your JSON

To prevent server crashes, ensure the config.json file adheres to proper JSON syntax. Use tools like JSONLint to validate your configuration.
