# How to add admins on your Valheim server

**Steps to Add Admins**

1. **Navigate to the Admin List File**
   * Go to the following directory in your server’s file manager:\
     `/home/container/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/adminlist.txt`
2. **Gather the Steam64ID of the Player**
   * Visit [SteamID Finder](https://www.steamidfinder.com/) to find the 64 ID of the player you want to add as an admin.
   * Copy the Steam64ID from the website.
3. **Add the Admin ID to the File**
   * Open the `adminlist.txt` file in a text editor.
   * Paste the Steam64ID into the file (one ID per line).
   * If you are adding multiple admins, ensure that each ID is on a new line.
4. **Save and Restart**
   * After adding the IDs, click **Save** to apply the changes.
   * Restart your server to activate the new admin permissions.
