How to grant admin rights on your CS:GO server?

1) You need to find out your SteamID. Open Steam, click on your account login in the top right, and select Account Details. In the new window, you will see your SteamID. Copy it.

NOTE

SteamID is a unique identifier for each player on the Steam platform

2) Go to the folder with your CS:GO server and open the configs folder. It is located at the following path:

..addons/sourcemod/configs

3) Find the admins_simple.ini file. Open it with Notepad or Notepad++.

4) In this file, enter the following line:

"Your SteamID" "access level" "password"

IMPORTANT

Access level 99:z grants the player the highest level of admin rights on the server. The last line is the password. If you don't want to use a password, do not include the third line with the password; only include your SteamID and the access level

5) Restart the server. Join it and try entering the command sm_admin in the console. If everything works, you will see the admin menu.
