This guide will show you how you can give yourself and your users admin rights so they are able to use all the available commands.
The first step is to go to Scalacube.com and log in to your account.
Click on "Servers" and then click on "Manage server".
Click on "Manage".
Find "Administrator Account" below and copy the shown password.
Now, connect to your server and set the username as "Admin", with the password being the same one you copied from the server control panel.
You are now logged into the administrator account and have access to admin related commands/features.
To make another player an admin, go back to the server control panel and locate the "Console" area.
Type in "SetAccessLevel username level".
Example: SetAccessLevel Hex admin. This will make the user "Hex" an admin.
There are multiple different staff levels you can choose from like: admin, moderator, overseer, gm or observer.
