Valheim admin

Dear forum members,
for some time now we have been creating and maintaining new ways to help game server admins with questions and problems as quickly as possible, e.g. our Guides section and the Nitrado Community Discord.

Therefore, we inform you that the Nitrado Forum will be closed on March 31, 2023. We are consolidating our community support to our Discord channel, which is faster and more efficient. We have also seen incredible growth in our community due to the hard work of our moderators and our bots. We are confident that this move will ensure that we provide the best support possible for our users.

Thank you to all members for your continued use of the forum!

Assistance with all questions concerning your Nitrado service can now be found in these spots:
Community Discord: https://discord.gg/nitrado
Guides section: https://server.nitrado.net/guides
Support Wizard: https://support.nitrado.net

    Changed the title of the thread from “Valheim” to “Valheim admin”.
  • Please check the config files. You can make yourself admin by entering your steam64 ID.

  • Did you add it in the correct format? It has to be the steamid64 format, usually its the number at the end of your profile link. If you don't know it you can convert it here:

  • I found the local adminlist.txt file when we were playing off my PC's local game and tried to add my brother's Steam ID to it on my PC, and it didn't work. I went ahead and added the game to our Nitrado Server here, hoping to correct the issue. I have since added my Steam ID and his Steam ID to the adminlist.txt file found in the config file here and now neither of us are Admins. I feel like I am missing something here? Is there a symbol or a coma or something we are supposed to add before or after each line? Has anyone else got this to work, and if so, what were your steps? The adding of the Steam ID digits is not working for some reason.

  • May i ask what you are trying to accomplish with admin rights?

    If you are looking for cheats, they do not work on the server.


    I added myself as an admin on my own server (i did all the steps described above) and all i can do are the following few commands on the server. all the other commands can only be used in singleplayer.

  • Sorry, but that's a limitation of the game, nothing Nitrado could fix.

  • Hi,


    Sorry for my english, it's a google translation


    Could someone give me the command to manually save the world? (Either in admin command in games, or in the "live server console" of the site). I ask this because when we have to stop and restart the server for any reason, we lose everything that was done between the two backups.


    Thank you

  • I'm able to open the console in-game using F5, and typing "imacheater" does enable cheats, but it still does not allow me to save manually. I'm unable to find out how I'm supposed to manually add admins into the game using Nitrado as this is my first dedicated server.


    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  • You can check the link Rondeau has provided or read the wiki.

    Keep in mind, you can not spawn items on the server nor use the "imacheater" on the server.

    The "save" command however works fine with admin rights. (tested on my own server) The save command does not work in the "live server console" in the webinterface.

  • Is the ID correct? Maybe a space at the end? (However, i don't know if a space would prevent it from working)

    Tried a restart?
