How To Admin Someone On Project Zomboid

If you're running a Project Zomboid server, you may want to designate certain players as admins to give them the ability to perform actions that other players may not be able to do.

Setting up an Admin on a Project Zomboid Server

1. Once you are logged in to your Project Zomboid server, press t or enter to open the chat window.
2. Type in the command /setaccesslevel username level, replacing username with your Steam ID and level with the desired access level (e.g. admin, moderator, etc.).

What is an Access Level?

An Access Level is a designation given to a player that allows them to perform certain actions within the game that other players may not be able to do. The different Access Levels in Project Zomboid are: admin, moderator, overseer, GM, and observer. Each Access Level has different permissions and abilities, as shown in the table below:

As you can see, each Access Level grants the player certain permissions and abilities. For example, an admin has all permissions and abilities, while an observer only has the ability to toggle invisible and teleport.
