FSH-AdminManager

Critical System Plugin

DO NOT DELETE - This plugin is essential for server administration. Removing it will disable all admin privileges and prevent the Server admins page in the Pro Panel from working.

Overview

FSH-AdminManager is the plugin behind admin management on your CS2 server. It reads your admin list from the Pro Panel, so you add and edit admins through the Server admins page instead of editing the admins.json file by hand.

Managed by: Miksen

How It Works

Panel Integration

FSH-AdminManager connects your server to the Server admins page in your Pro Panel. Find it under the Settings tab on your server's page. When you add or edit admins through the panel:

1. Reload in-game - Click Reload in-game on the Server admins page and the changes apply straight away. The server must be online
2. No Server Restart - You do not need to restart the server to apply admin changes
3. Loaded on Start - If you skip the reload, the new admin list is picked up the next time the server restarts

Automatic Permission Loading

• When a player connects to your server, FSH-AdminManager checks their SteamID64
• If they're in your admin list, their permissions are loaded automatically
• Players get their admin commands and privileges immediately

Built-in Retry System

• The plugin automatically handles Steam authentication delays
• If a player's SteamID isn't ready immediately, it retries up to 10 times
• Ensures admins always get their permissions, even with slow connections
• Works reliably across map changes and reconnects

Managing Admins Through Your Panel

Adding an Admin

1. Open the Settings tab on your server's page in the Pro Panel, then click Server admins
2. Enter the player's SteamID64 (format: 76561198XXXXXXXXX)
3. Select permission flags (see flags table below)
4. Set immunity level if needed
5. Click + Add, then Reload in-game to apply it straight away

Editing Admin Permissions

If you made a mistake or need to change someone's permissions:

1. Find the admin in your Server admins list
2. Click the pencil icon to edit
3. Update their flags or immunity
4. Save, then click Reload in-game to apply the change straight away

Removing an Admin

1. Find the admin in your list
2. Click the trash icon to delete
3. Confirm, then click Reload in-game to remove their privileges straight away

In-Game Commands (For Server Owners)

If you have root access (z flag), you can also manage admins in-game:

• /css_reloadadmins - Force reload all admins from panel (useful after making changes)
• /css_addadmin <player> <flags> - Quick add (also updates the panel)
• /css_removeadmin <player> - Quick remove (also updates the panel)

Permission Flags

Permissions are set with flags, one letter per permission:

Flag	Description
a	Reserved slot access
b	Generic admin commands
c	Kick players
d	Ban players
e	Unban players
f	Slay/harm players
g	Change map
h	Change cvars
i	Execute config files
j	Special chat privileges
k	Start votes
l	Set password
m	RCON access
n	Change sv_cheats
z	Root/Owner (all permissions)

Common Flag Combinations

Pro Tip

Start with minimal permissions (bcd for moderators) and add more as needed. You can always edit flags later through the panel!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find someone's SteamID64?

1. Go to steamid.io
2. Enter their Steam profile URL or name
3. Copy the SteamID64 number (starts with 765611...)

Why isn't my friend getting admin?

• Double-check the SteamID64 - it must be exact
• Have them reconnect to the server
• Use /css_reloadadmins in console if they're already on
• Check if you used the correct flags (minimum b for basic admin)

Can I have multiple admins?

Yes! Add as many as you want through the panel. Each admin can have different permission levels.

What's immunity?

Immunity protects higher-level admins from being kicked/banned by lower-level admins. Higher immunity number = more protection. Typical values:

• 10-25 - Donors
• 50 - Moderators
• 75 - Admins
• 100 - Owners

Can I remove the plugin to "clean up"?

No! This plugin is required infrastructure. It's like deleting the engine from your car - the whole system stops working. Keep it installed always.

Does this work with other admin plugins?

Yes, FSH-AdminManager is designed to work alongside other plugins. Many admin tools actually depend on it for permission checks.

Support

If you're experiencing issues or need help:

1. Check the Server admins page - ensure the SteamID64 and flags are correct
2. Have the player reconnect - admins load on connection
3. Try /css_reloadadmins in console - forces a refresh
4. Contact FSHOST.me support - we manage the backend and can help troubleshoot
