Server Administration

Having Arma 3 servers with an administrator on your server is a crucial part of its management because, with the help of one administrator or a whole team, many problems on the server can be prevented, such as overloading, map selection, and more. In particular, the administration can promptly manage players and kick/ban those who disrupt the game process for others or use cheats.
