SCP: Secret Laboratory Remote Admin Roles
Remote Admin is the right place to give moderators in-game powers without handing them server files. The safe model is a small owner role, a deliberately limited moderator role, and a test account that is not the owner.
Role design
| Role | Typical access | Do not grant by default |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Configuration, bans, shutdown and full moderation. | Do not share the credentials. |
| Moderator | Warnings, kicks and round moderation. | Server-wide configuration or ownership changes. |
| Event staff | Temporary round tools for a scheduled event. | Permanent ban and account-management powers. |
Apply a role safely
- Find the live
config_remoteadmin.txtbelow the server's port directory. - Copy it before editing.
- Change one user or role at a time and preserve the file's existing structure.
- Restart or reload as supported by the current server build.
- Test the role with a staff account and confirm that an ordinary player has no admin powers.
Never solve a moderation problem by giving everyone admin. Official community rules also treat “free admin” and unrestricted access as a serious server-quality problem.
See the configuration guide for paths and managed SCP:SL hosting for a server where the file access remains with the owner.
